This post is so important! I have a very similar list of all the reasons not to call myself an artist (including a failed foray into oil painting). I love the list of reasons TO call yourself an artist, and the hilariously absurd notion of a formal progression from Junior to Senior to VP Artist 😂

Thanks Kelcey! Curses to oil painting and a lifetime of seeing "oil on canvas" in every museum and thinking that is the be all, end all medium 😮💨 (though I would love to give oils a go sometime!)
Haha, yes and when I (briefly) took a few private art lessons, the teacher compared oil paint to poetry as the highest medium/form. And I was like, "welp, I'm a prose writer who will never master oils..."

Well then, may we have a blast with the “lowly” mediums 😂
