Not me, I'm not good at art. I actually just really like building stuff. I guess I'm lucky that gets me paid well.

I think you can argue that building things is an art in itself.

It puts the "create" in "creative"

My art tends to catch on fire when powered on instead of whatever I wanted it to do.

I'm not worthy of holding a candle to the master of the craft.

Then it just turns into performance art.

The art of making the house smell like atomized circuitry.

And how beautiful a flame is. Evokes emotion too, like panic. Definitely art.

outsider arts still art

Supporting people through insightful turns of phrases is also an art form in of itself

If you didn't have to worry about paying the bills, you would have more freedom to spend a little more money or time on things that you are building. To me that crosses into the art category. There's plenty of architecture, furniture or cars that I call art just because those people had more funding and time.
