Well, i used to think it was when you are very creative/talented/imaginative/conceptual etc in a certain artistic area whatever that maybe, but now subway has sandwich artists so perhaps the term has lost it's meaning? ;)

Music artist? Pick up artist? Art artist? Quick change artist? :) I sold a couple of drawings to a museum several years ago. That's when I came to think of myself as a true artist. I haven't sold anything since. Then again, I haven't tried. You can call yourself an artist anytime. Selling a piece of work is not a prerequisite. I've known other painters who are extremely talented, but don't have the desire to sell their work.

When what you are creating is from the gut and your motivation is truth and not money or any other wrong reason.

I don't know if it's something you call yourself so much as it's something that people come to describe you when they react to your creations.
