Self-indulgent? Probably. Bullcrap? Only at the Tate. (Kidding. I saw a particularly self-indulgent piece of bullcrap there once. It did stick with me, obviously, so I guess that's something.)
I think that some people are called to create by what they believe is a higher power, or in pursuit of something nobler, like beauty or awareness or.... I'm not saying that they're right, but that creativity can have other motivations than self-indulgence.
