I sometimes think it is also the way a person dresses etc. that influences people's perceptions of how good or serious an artist you might be. I really do not look the part of an artist at all. I never wear arty clothes, die my hair strange colours, pierce and tatoo my body etc. My scruffiness is more suggestive of a hiker in between hikes rather than anything bohemian, so when I say I am an artist people I am sure a lot of people have the impression that it is wishful thinking.
