  • "Outsider artists" are those who live outside the "norm," but Gregory Blackstock's story is as much about an artist who is self-taught as it is about an artist who creates art to please himself. Through rich animation, this film showcases Gregory’s inner life and intricately detailed “list” drawings and shows how he uses his artwork to catalog and make sense of the world around him. Gregory’s cousin Dorothy Frisch ultimately helps bring his drawings to the attention of the art world, while the documentary brings his drawings to life through hand-crafted animation, bringing you deeper into the unique vision of this singular artist.

    As an autistic person this gave me newfound respect for autistic people who are significantly more symptomatic than me and or have traits that can more clearly define them as autistic. I just wish I had that respect sooner. Thank you for making this. His art looks great

    My little autistic heart is bursting out of my chest seeing such a raw expression of autistic joy, god, I am so happy I live in a world with other people who see things like me and feel deeply. I am so so so so happy

    I love him🥰 His work is beautiful, he’s funny, and he’s living proof that our levels of support needs don’t define us and the level of success that we are able to attain.

    His art is amazing, and that he completely does it because he loves to do it, is something artists forget about, or lose in their pursuit of money. Gregory brought his art to the public without that even entering his mind. His accomplishment and pleasure he's given to others is an inspiration that there are still artists who create for their own pleasure, getting that extra bonus of praise from others.

    Thank you for this. I'm an autistic artist myself and it's cool to see what others like me create.

    His art is very cool and very well organized, it's admirable that he draw all of this by memory.... But also you could find any of this information on an encyclopedia...or the internet

      Sorry, I missed the bit where they claimed that Blackstock would one day replace Wikipedia. C'mon, Luis Mendoza, you've missed the point.

      @vb7000 I know you can slap the moniker of "art" into....pretty much anything!! Even diagrams and infographics can be called art, as in this case

    Gregory Blackstock does not feel like a "unique" or "special" story.
    autistic people get abused, put in seperate education systems that will physically restrain the students and stoke tensions by having bad policy.
    i can relate first-hand.
    they are not allowed to use whips anymore, but tackling and hurting is still a-ok, even if they are highly functioning and could be persuaded through other means. they only need to be seen as a threat.

    While i liked this the title seems like clickbait.
    Its using his autism to get people to watch a video about this 'weird' artist. I mean the video didnt even answer its own title.
    I have austism as well and find this sort of freak show of different abilities gross.
    Just show his cool art and give his history like you would any other artist.
