As an artist I must get involved with paper and leather (3-10)
I believe the answer is:
pre-raphaelite
'as an artist' is the definition.
'i must get involved with paper and leather' is the wordplay.
'must get involved with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'paper' put after 'leather' is 'leatherpaper'.
'i' mixed up with 'leatherpaper' makes 'PRE-RAPHAELITE'.
(Other definitions for pre-raphaelite that I've seen before include "Violent criminality" , "English artist such as Holman Hunt or Dante Gabriel Rossetti" , "eg Holman Hunt" , "Victorian artist such as Millais" , "Eg, Millais or Rossetti" .)
