Looks like I fell into the largest category with all the other literary fags. I like to write poetry, and cannot draw for shit.

I think an artist is someone who can effectively convey themselves (or their message) through a medium, be it poetry, prose, oration or painting. Games can come under that one too.
Otherwise it's not really art to me, just more of a picture (although a picture intended to convey a depth of character comes under art).
Anyway, I can't draw but I'd like to learn. Something for the summer holidays maybe.

I wish i could draw, but unfortunately i'm artistically retarded. In the words of my chemistry teacher, "you are the second worst drawer i have ever seen", and that was my CHEMISTRY teacher.
But i put that down to my lack of concentration and that i cant draw shapes.

I can't express myself without revealing too much... for now, at least. My location is 'comprimised'.
I can take some really artistic photos, but that's about it. Rudimentary drawing skills at best, though if CAD/NX count, then...yeah, I guess I could be an artist. I've had a few compliments on designs and such before.
I am not an artist.
That said, I can do a lot of things that are related to art. For example, I can play the Guitar and the Violin, but I wouldn't call myself a musician. Simply being able to read music and replicate the notes with the proper motions is simply a technical skill that anybody can learn with a bit of effort. The reason I am not a musician is because I have almost no capacity to create a melody that anybody would consider "good"
I can draw and paint with a limited degree of technical skill, but again this doens't make me an artist. I can draw a machine, I can replicate a scene, but I cannot reproduce something from my own head. This may simply be due to a lack of technical skill, but I'm not really sure.
The only place where I express any artistic inclination is in writing, but even here I would hardly call myself an artist. I can report facts, I can forge an argument but I have yet to produce a story that exists only in my mind. It's something that I feel I could probably due, but until I actually do so I can never provide proof of a skill. Plus, I've often been entirely wrong about my capacity to do something. For example, when I first decided to take up fencing I was fairly convinced that I could easily do that pretty well. Then I was shown just how terribly wrong I was, and I was shockingly amusing.

Meh. I draw comics, write and dabble in photography on occasion. If I were to follow a career in art, I'd probably be a cartoonist.
Yeah yeah, some people don't consider cartoons/anime/what-have-you art, but art is whatever the artist makes of it. It's a creative outlet for relaxing in my case.

I can replicate 2-d images and cartoons just by looking at them so I guess you can call me a copy-cat artist.
Being an artist means being someone who makes art. What is art is a more complex question.
I write sometimes, I also have tried my hand at level designing and making mods.
