@Leucrotta to be totally honest, in my experience the people who look the most like artists are people who put most of their energy into *looking like artists*, rather than into *doing actual art*. they can be a lot of fun at parties or great conversationalists (or incredible downers and a pain in the ass to hang out with, depending on their idea of what an artist should behave like), but when you ask what they've done or what they're working on it's all vague ideas. :P
@Leucrotta on the other hand, most artists I've known tend to hit a point of either finding a personal style they like and going with it, or utterly abandoning all interest in how they look in favor of focusing on their art-work, which tends to result in people who look like artists anyway, so. XD
