Of course her art is going to become more dark and moody. The heifer found out she had a freakin tumor in her brain! My artwork directly shows the moods I'm in as well. Whether if it's romantic, depressed, happy, whatever. I'm sorry but I just have to call "The tumor is making me better" excuse total BS. Now I'm not saying all of those are BS, just that womans.

It's too bad that the article suggests that brain damage has been an artistic blessing to all these people; while awe-inspiring, these stories are often very tragic and far more complex than is implied here.

I don't know if I would put myself at risk (not having a tumour removed) to keep my talent. I think I'd rather be around to appreciate art if I couldn't make it. The deal with my hands is that I have to draw or I feel anxious and terrible. It would be torment to be unable to act on those impulses.
