It was a shock when I first saw the works of Henry Darger and others 20~30 years ago (I think they were called Outsider Art then), although it was not that I liked all of them.

Give Greg's proclivities, I think he'll enjoy the work of Darger.

I am very happy you keep posting new art, Philo. Thank you.
I cannot help but feel the sculptures of Guri Berg are very humorous.

I am not sure if he or anyone would like Darger's work. :)

I just saw a book of Manabu Ikeda at a bookstore and was very impressed. He uses only a small acrylic pen.

Love this one. Teal is such a fantastic color.

I just remembered that I have seen (kind of) similar artwork.

I quite like this one. Interesting colors and usage of shadows. I'll be keeping an eye out for this artist.

That's super rad. I think she's very interesting, made even more so by her being from Kosovo.

I always like artists who use some kind of person as their main composition and build from that. Whether distorted or not, I find portraits to be an accessible medium to get more complicated emotions across to the viewer. Like, for example, Francis Bacon's paintings still scare the shit out of me. 8) Thanks for sharing this one with us, Philo.

You're most welcome, and I think you for sharing your thoughts. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I agree with your sentiment here.
