The Urge to Make Things

So I like what he says about the artist becoming the things he creates...

Does that mean that if you make one great painting you are a great painter, or if you make one great design that you are great designer?

The painter, I think could possibly be true. It feel like it is harder to make a good painting than it is to make a good design...

You could stumble upon a good design and just get lucky but painting takes layers of work and physical effort...

Does it also mean that if you make one terrible piece of art, that you are a terrible artist?

I think it goes neither way...

Maybe majority rules, if most of your work is good then you are good...

I think it depends on who the critic is.
