    Better Help is trash - doesn't vet providers etc. Plenty of horror stories out there if you care to look. No shade on taking the sponsorship, get your bag and all, but people should know to steer clear of that sheisty shit.

      Most mental health is trash imo. Most scientific progress is made by observation of different subjects. How can you really understand the experience if you haven't indulged in the mind state. Similar to being an expert of a landscape of a place you've never experienced.

    He’s one I haven’t encountered before but his work and story are right up my alley. Also I’m going to give you a cheeky reminder of a possible video on Hans Bellmer.

    I like the genuine emotions depicted here. It gives us a glimpse of his life. I'm not trying to be insensitive with this statement, art gets better the more we suffer. There's a desperation to tell the story of the unseen. There is a quality that's hard to find otherwise. Some of Picasso's best works were during the war in my opinion. Guernica is a POWERFUL piece of work.

    The version of the Folk Art museum show that I saw at the San Jose Museum was one of the transformative artistic experiences of my life. He was an outsider in life but his art is anything but; I think he’s one of the greatest artists of North America of the twentieth century; I think his influence will grow as people discover and rediscover his work.

    All this art is changing me, adding to me, lifting me, with each new example that stimulates my senses.
    And, as a bonus, I learned that B.H. might have some "issues", that need looking into, before consulting them for help ;-)

    There seems to be a common theme among talented and prolific artists having mental instability. Schizophrenia is a terrible mental health disease but it is amazing to see the world through someone's eyes who has it, especially through their artistic expressions. They often say that art is inspired from extreme emotional distress or hardship so being confined to a padded cell would inspire wild imaginative stimulation.

      I've often wondered myself about this very issue, seeing how his Mexican family & kin could really have benefited from the additional income generated by sales of his work. It could very well have something to do with the maddening complexities of national & international copyright law. Or maybe it's just the rank unfairness of the damn world.

    Dude you NEED to do a vid on Trevor brown. It'll be hard without getting demonized but ppl don't rlly talk abt him despite how influential his art has been on other artists and aesthetics in general. He's a creepy egotistical nut job but his art is undeniably amazing. He tries to be stealthy and pull the "quit sexualizing my art" while also opening discussing his creepy tendencies. He's not a good person but he creates some crazy good stuff. I wouldn't necessarily call it compelling, there's not a lot of subtlety but as a csa survivor it puts me in this weird headspace. Like, there's no doubt hes a creepy mofo but regardless I devour his works. Anywho, plz make a vid on him. Trevor brown (embarrassingly) and Yuko tatsushima are my two artists. You've covered Yuko, but haven't covered Trevor. He's pretty frowned upon due to the content of his works and I've frequently heard him referred to as "wasted potential". I don't necessarily think that's true though because I've found that the best pieces come from those who have serious trauma and/or mental issues and whatever Trevor's got going on is a serious mental issue. I don't find a lot of art fueled by a paraphilia that's genuinely interesting to look at. It all tends to be very surface level and very "Ah yes, genitals" but Trevor brown utilizes this beautiful juxtaposition of cutesy imagery and blatant fetishism that just is unparalleled. Yes, there's other amazing artists that paint sad big eyed girls with surrealistic themes, but none do it like him.
