The confusion starts when we call ourselves hobbyists and bonsaists because these terms do not define what we actually do. We do this on purpose in order to protect ourselves from critics. When you say artist, you are fair game. You can be called a bad artist and that can be devastating. So it's not a bad idea to protect ourselves from "artistic injuries". But it's up to us to be vague or clear about what we do.

Very well put! I agree!
