from: But Is It Outsider Art? A prominent painter flunks a purity test.  By Jesse Walker edited by the John Dog, Eccentric Outsider Artist and producer or web sites like www.cup-o-joe.com that has over 100 pictures of cup o joe or cup o' joe or cup a joe, no matter how you spell it is it still good coffee.

It may be impossible to define John Dog the Eccentric American Artist aka John DAgostino's outsider art adequately, but I'll try. It is eccentric, engaging, and often apocalyptic. It stands outside the standard schools and movements, and is produced by artists who are usually self-taught (but not always) and often judged insane. It includes some of the most compelling, disturbing, and/or simply strange painting, sculpture, and even literature and music being produced today. Like parnography, I know it when I see it; and like parnography, its boundaries are hard to locate.
