Is digital art? - Beyond Tiki

(Computer Graphics, animation, Web layout...) Once the one becomes familiar with the products rendered from these tools, the people with artistic/design talent, skills, or those who are simply clever start to surface. Old mediums, like paint, and sculpture have less short cuts...I think that's why we give them more credibility as art. To the point that "Everyone is an Artist"...does that mean that really there is no such thing as an artist? (In contrast to everyone is potentially a producer of Art?)
