Aspiring Artist

I kind of want to be an artist. Which sucks. Because in no way, shape, or form am I artistic at all. I have no medium in which I excel. I have no ideas for pieces. I just think that the artistic process is really cool. And I want to participate. I basically spent the whole weekend hanging out with my friend R (who is an artist.) He's currently doing an apprenticeship at a steel mill. So, he designs pieces that he'd like to create in wax...then he makes a sand mold using the wax model...then he pours MOLTEN IRON into the mold....and then it dries into an iron sculpture. I went and watched a pouring once. Glowing red liquid metal. Honestly people. Artistic talent. Why not me?
