Not mine by any means so I hope this isn't breaking any rules... but I like them so I thought I'd post them here. I don't know much about this artist other than the fact that these were created during a schizophrenic episode. I find the hallucinogenic parallels intriguing.

Louis Wain is the greatest. The psych book I read that mentioned him said that the fractal patterns were an increasingly desparate attempt to order his disintigrating thought processes. :hypno

Interesting. Some of his cat pictures even before he was institutionalized look pretty creepy... I like the pretty colours tho :love

Louis Wain rocks. I agree that his illustrations YEARS before he went off his rocker had crazy undertones. That's what I like about them.

The last three are amazing. Are they manually mirrored?

I'm always too afraid to create when I'm having a psy... I mean, I'm not crazy! LOOK AT THE PRETTY KITTY! *whistles*

Maybe I just can't see it but the last one looks nothing like a cat :/
