This may have been covered before, certainly Arty Buzzwords have. I just had to mention this. I have had the pleasure to make an acquaintance with a young, excellent artist, but who refers to being an "Autodidact" artist. Well, having never heard of this before, I had to look it up. The definition is quite simply "a person who is self-taught". I won't say anymore except, what is going on with artists? I know we're not all like that, of course, I'm not generalising, Is it I who is missing something, or am I from another planet? Don't answer that - 'im indoors has always thought I was!!
