My sculptures I consider art. My space and town MOC's, not so much. The
museum treads a fine line between model and artwork. I do tend to
differentiate between them (I think that if I can use the creation in a game
of BrikWars as something other than scenery, it's artwork)

I don't think so.

No

By profession, I'm a mechanical engineer. Depending on your perspective,
that is a creative field. It certainly is a very hands-on field.

that regard, it's no different from clay or paint (or yarn for crocheters,
or wood for cabinet makers, etc)

I consider myself, in part, an artist. Unfortunately this (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)
