To me, a "professional artist" is sort of an oxymoron. I think "monetarily successful" artist would be more appropriate.

To say anyone would be considered an artist if they have a passion for it, but a "professional" artist is one that derives a majority of their income from sales, is like saying anyone can be a lover, but a "professional" lover is a prostitute.

**** PLEASE NOTE **** the proceeding was just a thought, don't jump on the U-Moderate over it.
