minus-squareSculptus Poe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 hours agoBest is always subjective when it comes to art, but I think she is squarely in the safe zone for wearing the label.
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-28 hours agoSure, but when you asking about a specific profession, that seems the most obvious way to interpret that question.
