Well, at the risk of being seared beyond recognition by all of Spunk's 
supporters who won't finish reading this because they are having an apoplectic 
fit from the first part, the deer is a good copy of someone else's art. So are 
you an artist judging by that? I'm not so sure. However, judging by the 
following (only a very few of many, many, many from which to choose), which I 
gather are original, yes, I'd say that they are art and you are an artist.
