    I think it would be cool to see what everyone's favorite outsider artist/personality might be.

    For me it's a tough toss up between:

    Henry Darger

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger

    &

    The Dancing Outlaw

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8360697575044509579&hl=en

    For anyone not familiar with either, you don't know what you have been missing. (obviously!)

    All I can say is that if you get a chance to watch the original Dancing Outlaw documentary, you better be prepared to laugh your ass right off.

    I swear that video should come with a warning that states: Warning. Drinking large quantities of water before watching this documentary may cause you to pee your pants.

    Darger on the other hand was an absolute wonder case. There is also a GREAT documentary on him and whereas you might do a little laughing, you will be more so stunned by the man's determination and imagination. A truly incredible case.
