That doesn't qualify as retired in my mind.

Well, I work on what I enjoy at least 30 hours a week, up to maybe 45, and work at it 7 days a week - for fun.
Usually the income is a very nice bonus to the family funds, but with the stock market tanking we value it a genuine income.
According to most of your comments, this really should count as "work" or a job. The only difference is that I only work on drawings that I really am interested in doing, and the decision as to whether or not to work at any given moment is wholey my own.
Sort of complicates the definition of retirement, doesn't it?
