While reading up on outsider artists, a term for insane or spiritual artists:
"His images are constructed of microscopically detailed elements, sometimes consisting of literally hundreds of interconnecting figures and faces, which he draws without the aid of magnifying lenses..."
"Control was achieved partly through the annihilation of pictorial depth and its replacement by his own marks. Extant unfinished drawings allow us to see that Monsiel began by drawing large figures on his sheet, and then systematically filling the spaces between their defining contours with other figures and faces that became increasingly reduced in scale until the whole sheet was filled."
Outsider Art- Spontaneous Alternatives, Colin Rhodes
Oh dear me, I'm a psychotic artist then.
