Mehrdad Rashidi is an outsider artist from Iran, and his drawings are some of the most potent I think I've ever seen. It's so joyous, such a celebration of what the drawn line can be. No pretence, no elitism, just pure drawing. Wonderful, human, inspiring.
Making a conscious effort to look at so many different types of art + creativity has been the best thing I've done to feed my mind in this past year. Outsider art is wild and interesting and real and uplifting and puzzling and maddening and enlightening all at once. Just what pictures should be. Drawing can be anything and for anyone.
