“…one of those people hardly anyone notices”

Outsider art is a curious thing, and often quite interesting. Other times, well… not so much. Regardless of the actual art, there is usually an interesting story attached. Henry Darger’s has long fascinated me partly, I’ll admit, because he’s a local guy. I may not want to read his book but wish I could have been the one to discover his trash collection and handwritten opus.
