Re: Re: TotW: Mental Illness & Creativity
That's a really good point about the art being done in ink rather than some more easily erasable medium. I've been using my iPad to do digital art for a while now. I can't get in it with my hands because if my hands get dirty I flip out. Abstract art is really cool though, and I've seen some of your work, it's awesome!

I know there haven't been any scientific studies proving the causation of mental illness and creativity, but the thought of it is interesting to me. I'm pretty creative and obviously have a lot of mental health issues, but my oldest brother also very artistic and struggles with mental health issues. Our other brother isn't artistic and doesn't have mental health issues. Super anecdotal and the smallest sample size ever, but I've noticed the same thing with several friends too.

Best,
