different view art and artist. To me it's much more about a way of
thinking. In my mind an artist is someone who immerses themselves in
something that they are passionate about and then expresses their
thoughts, feelings, conclusions, ideas, etc. in some way. To me this
can take the form of a painting, a sculpture, a line of code, a
formula, a film, a company, a slam dunk, and even a video of
something mundane posted to their blog.
What I hear you say is that there is something special about being an
artist and not everyone can do it. I disagree. It's something to be
an artist but not something special. Not any more special than to be
a garbageman. There's nothing I'd rather do than be an artist but I
certainly don't think it makes me different or special.
So now, as I'm writing this I see your response to your own email.

So to answer your question, "ever feel like a dork?" All the time!
I can't believe some of things that just fly out of my mouth
sometimes. Anyway, I'm still sending this because I do stand behind
the ideas expressed above.
Peace,
