Check out this article on Elaine De Kooning.  It is an interesting read for sure.  The image choices are great!  I don't know about you but seeing images like these puts me in a working mindset.  They make me want to draw. 

Outsider Art...

This is a zinger of an article/discussion!  Love it or hate it, Outsider Art is interesting and worth the discussion!  I usually find that if I don't like something in the art world, I can't stay away from it until I research and understand it enough to respect what it is. What do you think about Outsider Art?
