Well, first off, I believe that the term "true artist" is one of those terms like "Mary Sue/Gary Stu" where they can differ in meaning to each person. But, to me, I believe a true artist is someone who does art simply because they like doing it; not for monetary or ego related things, just because they like to act/draw/write/scuplt/whathaveyou. Although it would be ne nice to make money off of something, it shouldn't be the true artist's main purpose.

When I said "true artists don't dick around for the hell of it," it's because most true artists take their job seriously and only make changes to something if they think it'll improve it.

ex. Pixar

I probably criticized myself at a couple points.
