I didn't make this remark because I wanted to judge on the quality of the art or the artist, it's just that the craft tag was invented and is used for professions that won't consider themselves artists. For me, everybody who considers himself an artist can be tagged like this in OSM. Have a look at the most used values of craft: - carpenter - shoemaker - photographer - electrician - tailor - plumber - brewery (shouldn't that be "brewer"?) - metal_construction - gardener - sawmill ... See here: http://taginfo.osm.org/keys/craft#values there might be some small overlap, but usually a photo artist won't call himself "photographer" (this is one with slight overlap, I agree), just like a garden artist will not call himself "gardener" but rather garden designer or landscape engineer (both are discutable regarding their "artisticness", but that's not my point here, at least they are not "gardeners"). I don't exclude that there are also artists that work for instance with the equipment and material of a plumber or a sawmill, but they won't / shouldn't (IMHO) be tagged craft=plumber. Cheers, Martin
