It is like an identifier that was assigned by the "other" to a group and is perceived and intended as denigrating, but many generations later is "revived" and made useful to the original group. This has happened also famously with the "Pink Triangle" which signalled Nazi prisoners who were homosexual in WWII, but later was reclaimed by the people.
Mar 21, 2017 at 14:37 comment added Yorik One thing I took from your question was that you were in search of a non-negative or at least neutral term. It is important to understand that virtually all art movements take their names from criticism: mannerism ("stylism") was a 16th century insult. Rococo, Baroque, Gothic, Modernist, fauve/der wilde, all insults it goes on.

Mar 18, 2017 at 20:57 comment added lmlmlm As to your closing question. That would be an illustrator, of which there are many out there. Just look on Behance. They will probably use tablets and/or Wacoms in a combination with PS/AI/scanned art on paper/other software to create custom illustration, which then clients are paying for so that designers can re-arrange and deliver a finished product. Some, but not all, illustrators can also be designers. Pick up a copy of Monocle magazine and you'll see how many illustrators contribute artwork for the design of the magazine.
