Sometimes talent is sparked, or maybe just revealed, in the strangest ways.

Imagine having a stroke, a severe brain injury or a tumor and suddenly waking up one day to find you’ve developed artistic talents to rival Picasso. It sounds impossible, but the brain is a mysterious organ, and sometimes, damage causes it to rewire itself in ways that reveal new talents even in people who could barely doodle a stick figure. From the engineer on disability who became a sought-after digital artist after a stroke to a woman whose dementia spurred remarkable creative output, these 10 artists were all transformed by neurological trauma or disorders.

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.
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.
