Just watched a film "In the Realms of the Unreal" on Netflix, and was blown away by it. It's a story of a reclusive man, Henry Darger, who had a horrible childhood and grew up virtually without any friends. By day he was a janitor, but at home, in his little Chicago apartment, he drew these fantastic drawings and wrote a long novel about seven sisters named "The Vivian Girls". It's a fascinating movie and his drawings were charming. Right now it's a movie available to watch on the Netflix website so check it out if you get a chance.
