The new "Artist" badge is an amazing feature, can help provide more exposure for emote artists across the Twitch platform, but currently does not allow creators to give themselves the "Artist" role in their own channels. Every time a creator types in chat (to enter a bot command, post a link, etc) it would provide the creator an opportunity to highlight that they are also an emote artist to their own viewers.
