The name "artie" shall never be written with a capital A - not even when it comes first in a sentence. Normally there are exceptions which confirmes the rules, but in this case there are no exceptions whatsoever. Certain people would probably claim that "artie" always should be written with a capital A, because it's a name, but artie is of the opinion that "artie" is a symbol for his name, which can be expressed with letters.
Suffix
Since "artie" is not a name, but a symbol, normal rules when it comes to suffixes are not applied. When it comes to genitive, for example, it's not possible to add an "s" to the symbol. Instead, it is preferred to refrase the sentence to something like "the thing that belongs to artie".
Third person
When artie is talking about himself, he can choose to refer to himself as first or third person. Never second, though. Wheter artie can choose to talk about himself in plural is not clear, because he has never tried, but there should be no legal jurisdiction that forbidds him.
De Fantastiska Fyra
artie is, together with attif, Big T and mallot, a part of the volontary underground movement "De Fantastiska Fyra (DFF)".
