I'm one of the gulls ..Which one's you, Swifty? Blue t-shirt or white fedora?
On a parallel, I remember once reading somewhere that Da Vinci secured the commission to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by illustrating that he was able to draw a perfect circle free hand ..Holbein's considered a master. There's a good book called Humanism, by John E Carroll, which delves into this painting as one of the inspirations for the decline of civilisation as we know it. Other works examined include John Ford's film The Searchers. A parable of our hopelessness and despair, apparently.

Admired by the likes of John Betjeman and Peter Pears, John Craske spent a spell in an asylum before taking up painting and embroidery. Now, seven decades after his death, his dramatic seascapes are finally getting wider acclaim.
John Craske was a fisherman from a family who had been fishermen for as long as anyone could remember, but he became too ill to go to sea. The sea was in his blood, he felt at home there, both when it was calm and breathing like a great beast and when it was wild and holding his life by a thread. And so he learned how to go to sea in his mind, making pictures of the element that mattered to him and that he understood...
A lot of outsider art is badly done.
I'm not sure any art can be badly done.
No but John Craske was.
Lovely article about a lost world and a damaged man in The Guardian last summer:
Amateurish and unpolished can be a good thing

Reminds me of the sort of places I spent huge amounts of mind-blowing times in.
