I'd actually pick the genius intellectual rather than the genius artist, oddly, but I'm happy I don't actually HAVE to.

One of the more talented artists in the local area here (he is an internationally exhibiting painter) also has 17 patents in electronics, a doctorate in ... physics?, and some other random degree. He did music and painting as hobbies while working in electronics in the US in the 70s.

Wow! It's really fascinating when you start asking people this question, because Mr. Old Manager is also a doctor and you'd never guess!
