The definition of "art" is "anything man made" which (my opinion) is just some crap art professors say cuz its way easier than subjective consideration - and so (since you seem hurt as I've probably have struck a nerve - note: I couldn't care less) as my belief is that "how you do anything is how you do everything" as since this is the case, I always do my best knowing that everything in life is a pattern. When I patched my roof, I did my best. When I built our server room, I did my best. When I wrote the copy for the marketing for our company, I did my best. When I put in the electrical and hooked up the networking for the xerox workstations in our mail room, I did my best. When I built the table to put the mail on from scratch, I did my best and thousands of other things (a good deal I was paid for as a professional and a lot I did for my businesses because it was easier or I just never bothered to find someone else) - I always do a nice job.

None of my stuff is art. With the exception of the heavy wooden frames I made outta some old flooring for this artist girl who painted pictures and sold them for a good amount of money outta some coffee shop. In which case, I imagine that there is some art hanging on some wall some where that I had a hand in.

Otherwise - typically all my stuff works and does something. And I wouldn't consider myself an "artisan" because that's just a marketing word used to sell/move product. Tho I assure you if I was to hang-out with a "cheese artisan" or any other so titled person, by the end of a short period of time me asking questions, I could replicate whatever skill it was they knew how to do...

And then with this new skill - I would probably think little of it and move on to whatever it was that I wanted to do next.

I am the way I am because that's how my family is and those who I was around when I was young (when America was great) and so I don't see all this as anything special but how people are suppose to be.

And then (now) I employee lots of people and all of them have no skill nor are they interested in doing or learning anything and it seems to be a big deal to get nearly anything done...

Whereby I end up doing a lot of things myself - cuz the whole fucking place is out to make points with words and believe the hypnotic dreams and dumb shit that is immoral at its core.

That said - whatever mistakes you precieve - please excuse as I'm typing this real fast off the top my head - cuz I'm not out to split hairs about "builder" and "artist" and "artisan" and fuck all whatever.

Basically - I build stuff (that many people think looks real nice and always works) - I'm not wandering down some road whining about the fact that solar cycles are altering the climate as much potentially as are high energy upper atomospher attenna arrays and government nonsense or whatnot.

I'd really like if it other people would get on board with "hey lets fix and repair and make new things" (at whatever skill level you are capable of) with the intention to always do your best - aka the American way.

But I'm continuously met by dumb fucks who want to tell me how smart they are and yet have real difficulty accomplishing things in the real world.
