"Little Henry's heart is not in the right place."

I should be studying [and doing a million other things as well] but I was looking through my notes and came upon the notes I had on Henry Darger.

I managed to find a site dedicated to Outsider Art. It is a really good site. This stuff is so much better than any Magritte or Courbet or Morisot or Dali. So much respect for people who work in this

*explores* Wow this is quite interesting. I'm meant to be doing my assessment too but... well this is way more amusing.

BTW - posted cd today! Hurrah for my organisation skillz! Which don't really show themselves that often ;)

I got it!

I loved it. I'm listening to it right now.

This man is super interesting. I swear. I've always been intrigued by outsider musicians but the artists are just as interesting. Read this:

Trust me...I know how you'll feel after that. I would love to meet John MacGregor. Oh hey, omg, I saw my tutor at today's slide test...arghhh, I wanted to kiss him! He's so OMG OMG OMG.

Awesome! I'm glad I didn't go for express since clearly there was no need ;p

"The Wizard of Oz as seen by a pedophile on a bad acid trip" - Ahahaha. That article had a good way of putting things. I've never really read anything before on outsider artists! That was just crazy. I went and looked up their artwork in google too. Evene crazier.

Oh wow yes even if it wasn't in person. I want to go to one of his lectures dammit.

I miss my piano tutor :"( we had a special thing going too.

I remember him. The one who sent you the goose email when he forgot to attach something.

This was written on Henry Darger by my good friend from Middlebury and Cambridge, J.M. Tyree.

Thank you! I just find everything written about Outsider Art so remarkable.

You know what's also remarkable? The fact that I won't be able to read this for a while since I don't know who I am anymore because I'm piled deep under so much work.

I quite like John McGregor's input on how selling and exhibiting Darger's work is just plain wrong. I wholeheartedly agree with that. When he found out that Lerner and co. had found his stash he told them to burn it. Obviously he was really distressed about it.
