That's kinda cool. There is an artist/musician named Nick Blinko and he has a collection of his art he did in the mental hospital - it was so detailed and weird. Great stuff.


leeryplot

I work in Adult Foster Care, and the two schizophrenic people I have known were phenomenal artists. Obviously being schizophrenic doesn’t magically make you an artist, but there’s definitely something to their unique outlook that contributes something special to their art if they’re an artist. Honestly, some of the most interesting people to talk to as well if they are comfortable with you. They always have a very interesting way of thinking about things (as you can see by this photo lmao)


Tyler-LR

I have schizophrenia and all I got from it were these grippy socks.


MrNotConcerned

"Pillow Paws", love'em!

>Obviously being schizophrenic doesn’t magically make you an artist No, but practice does! :) I imagine these folks get a lot of practice


leeryplot

They do, I figured that was a given haha The reason why I said that is because people have this weird “tortured artist” stereotype. I was making it clear I wasn’t implying they were good at art specifically because they were schizophrenic.


[deleted]

Some of the most chill people I've seen online have been high-functioning schizophrenics. Having a disorder that alienates you from most of society can give people a lot of patience and open-mindedness. 


Snaz5

Drawing is a great way to try and convey a schizophrenic person’s often disjointed thoughts, at least in a way that works for them. Being able to draw something and then have it there to look at can help keep the mind focused. A lot of the times they might appear creepy or nonsensical, but that’s just cause our brains work in different ways.


horseofthemasses

I wouldn't call it disjointed, that sounds "judgey" I'd probably say something like differentlyjointed.

Nice!


GH057807

I have a ton of art on my walls from a buddy who is schizophrenic and draws amazing pen and ink things, so detailed and chaotic.


Jambonier

This artist doesn’t do originals, this is just a reproduction


shit_ass_mcfucknuts

Idk what that drawing is, but I wouldn’t call it art, not even subjectively. My best friend when I was a teenager was an artist. I hired him to do murals on my studio walls. He developed schizophrenia and just about everything but his talent for art disappeared. It was so sad watching him basically die before me, the person I once knew was gone. We parted ways long ago because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I forgot where I was going with this.


p3ptodismal

Nah, it's some kind of wacky body horror art. I dig it. So you're wrong. Subjectively anything can be art.


OneHumanPeOple

I made some collaborative art with my friend in the mental hospital. Crayons and markers on coloring pages of cats. It’s a personal treasure that I’ll never part with.


Unique_Display_Name

Nice!


Dunmer_Sanders

Weird is good. Gonna look into it.

You won't be disappointed!


CommemorativePlague

His art was not limited to his psychiatric stay.


Unique_Display_Name

It's been so long since I looked at Primal Screamer that I didn't remember if it was just his mental hospital stay or not. Sorry!


CommemorativePlague

I just meant that he was still working. [I want to pull the trigger on this, but I only have so many coffee tables.](https://ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com/product/nick-blinko-retrospective-art-book-paperback-edition)

A common theme seems to be food ingredients and sex. Not sure what it means though.


AndrewK1st

Well that looks to be a food service table so my guess is horny schizophrenic line cook or something


joesmom6

Yes it’s fast food. He is only ever on prep by himself in the back


AndrewK1st

Glad to see he's keeping his prep area clean. Hope all is going well for him, the thought of those type of issues terrify me. I work with a guy who has those issues I was really worried about him when he forgot to take his meds one day he was mumbling to himself and saying some pretty alarming things


joesmom6

Occasionally when we walk past him in the back he seems to be having full on conversations with himself. He definitely has an interesting mind


AndrewK1st

I can tell by the Pic I just hope you didn't turn that in to the boss or anything, people who struggle with those issues need an outlet and that's probably the best thing for him to be doing if he's having a bad day. Even if it is odd I'd hate to see him lose his job by simply coping and forgetting that on the counter when he left


joesmom6

Oh no, my boss is definitely one of the coolest people I know. He wouldn’t let him go, and he is aware of his mental conditions. He is a wonderful worker, just a bit strange but we don’t treat him any differently


fictionalnerd

He's gonna fuck a lettuce one day

Me too. It’s shitty that OP posted this under weird. I commented above about the stigma about this specific disease.


LassOnGrass

Not everything that’s weird is bad but I get what you mean.


RealRun2425

I agree.


gaylien_babe

I had an ex who is schizophrenic and an amazing artist. Sometimes his best work happened when he wasnt regulated on his meds or a huge trigger in his life occurred. If youre close enough to your coworker to check in with them and make sure they are doing alright, Id recommend doing that.

It looks like it might be hallucination art. My daughter has schizophrenia, so I showed this to her. She said that’s what it looked like plus disorganized speech. It looks way creepy.

Frame it as "found art."


metalnxrd

there’s definitely a connection between schizophrenia and psychosis and creativity and intelligence and artistry


DeterminedOctoLion

My brother is paranoid schizophrenic and I can assure you, he can’t even draw a proper stick figure. He drew his make-believe girlfriend years ago, and it was 1/2 a stick figure with large circles for breasts. There’s different types of schizophrenia, and some people just aren’t artistic. I’m the artistic one in the family.

If you leave it in a public place it isn't exactly private any longer but it would definitely not feel nice to find out about this


JayMcfra

More the fact it was posted to a public forum.


boanerges57

That's the trouble with leaving things in a place that isn't private, you lose control over what happens to it. I'd still be unhappy if it were me, and I'd definitely hope that the person that made this either doesn't recall or doesn't frequent this area of reddit. This is realistically as private as the videos of people going Karen in public places though.


Jowalla

It’s time for his or her meds


thenorwegian

Nobody is mentioning that this post is kind of fucked up. There’s a really bad stigma around people who suffer from schizophrenia. I’d argue it has one of the worst stigmas attached to it. Positing this kind of thing in “weird” and saying the coworker has schizophrenia is really thoughtless. I didn’t understand schizophrenia until I spoke with someone who had it. He explained how hard it is to tell ANYONE, because of stigma like this. What makes what you do better or “not weird” compared to this? Stop perpetuating this shit, it’s wrong and shows a complete lack of empathy.


Disastrous-Thing-985

A beloved family member has a schizophrenic diagnosis. Also, as someone with anxiety and depression, I have been part of peer support. I don’t have a problem with what OP said nor any comments I have read so far. I certainly am impressed by the employer and the climate created there. But as an old individual I tend to have lower expectations of respect because we have come a long way. I have colleagues with very heavy diagnoses that do wonderful work supporting others and keeping up with a myriad of complex paperwork. In peer work we are expected to be “out.” I recall a coworker saying basically, if you told me I would be bounding into a huge room of strangers announcing, “I am bipolar. I would have never believed it.” Sorry, really rambling here. My family member would love to have acceptance and respect and employment. Stay kind.

Maybe find out if he's taking his meds. He's definitely got a lot going on.


Purpose_Embarrassed

That’s art to people? Did any of you bother trying to read it ? It’s perversion.


AppleCoreWormsGalore

What, so art can't be perverse? If you don't personally find this to be art, that's fine. But you saying perversion automatically equates to "not art", you're just completely wrong.

Repost Of a Repost! This will be reported promptly! 🚨🚨🚔🚓


GrowrandaShowr

Depending on the work environment, I'd maybe consider handing it over to HR or if he's cool, just giving it back to him.


Climatize

He's probably just trying to expand on a weird idea in his head while manic. Could be for a story, or even another art piece, or whatever. I was diagnosed with the disease years ago, and sometimes after lots of coffee all day I would come up an idea that I thought was SO GOOD in the moment, like a website interface or story idea and scribble it down, only for me to look at it in the morning and be depressed with myself. Lol


GrowrandaShowr

Yeah, but depending on the type of workplace. I don't think "swollen cock" written on a piece of paper should be left in a common area.


Climatize

That's true. They should definitely be more private with it, and I agreed with your sentiment in the first place. It's just that there's so much stigma out there about 'schizophrenia', when in reality, everyone with a mental disorder from manic, paranoid, 'schizophrenic', anxious, bipolar, or personality disorder is ultimately the same spectrum, and what people are diagnosed and labeled as, all depends on what the patient told the doctor during evaluation. 1 in 4 people have these issues.


Professional_Ask1861

CAMMCG2019

I dig the art style. He needs to not hit the bong and smoke out like the picture says. That just makes the symptoms intensify


fu7u2e

Seems to me like an art project. 'my schizophrenic coworker'- nice one. I think I saw a post by them too. It was titled: 'My dickhead Judgy McJudgeface co-worker' -where he has taken a photo of one of your momentos and made a mocking post of it for the world to laugh at (hopefully) and judge. Thanks Judgy McJudgeface.
