Wow... these look a lot like some of my drawings when I was experiencing a breakdown. Thanks for posting, these are awesome.
Damn STRAIGHT!!!!
I bet a million unexpected fathers are looking at this and wishing there were a way to go back in time and make it happen
In my own view this does not capture mental torment of any sort. Also it seems to take nothing seriously, I know that life for people with Schizophrenia is not so funny and swell. Seems more an attempt at humor. Always captures the darkness. Not the light. Schizophrenia is a life, with brightness and dimness, all of which are seen through a disordered lens. You forget that nowhere in the criteria is there anything about being dim or dark. That is the reaction people have, not the subjective experience. If you see art by Schizophrenic people, like the work of the Beach Boys, or a painting of a bird's eye view of a city. Nothing that captures the internet ideas of cool. To be Schizophrenic these people can never seem to find belonging. A Schizophrenic expressed themselves by painting a big sun and little stars below them that are people, not murder pornography. You don't understand the beauty of their existence by defiling them in your name. There is an artist that paints anthropomorphic cats in bright colors, because that is the way he makes art. It isn't a grand statement. It is their ability to express themselves that is different, not how they choose to do it. The absence of regular expression leads to unusual artwork and language. Not a choice.
They aren't meant to be scary. They don't mean to either. Sometimes they are. But not like this.
these drawingsare based on my feelings of wanting to belong. a baby symbolizes myself as a blister in the sun. the rain/tears is bad thoughts and self-talk. i was in a bad place at the time thats why the theme of these is so down
I love these! Psych ward art is the best. I’ve saved some of mine from over the years too
