A literal bald janitor who only had 1 friend in his adult life. He never married or was involved with any women. Bro spent all day inside writing and drawing cartoons. He never showed anyone either. They only found it after his death

It was in this room for the next 43 years that Darger would imagine and write his massive tomes (in addition to a 10-year daily weather journal and assorted diaries) and collect and display artwork until his death

In the last entry in his diary, Darger wrote: "January 1, 1971. I had a very poor nothing like Christmas. Never had a good Christmas all my life, nor a good new year, and now... I am very bitter but fortunately not revengeful, though I feel should be how I am..."

His stuff still looks good. Ur prolly saying its not good cuz horns effect lmao
It does look good. I'm saying he couldn't draw well in the absence of tracing because he had to trace to make it good

You can tell he was relying on tracing because there's technical issues with gesture that you can't get from tracing but thsts the appeal of outsider art

probably would be me if I never had a phone. I wish I could get rid of my phone addiction, such a disgusting zoomer trait
