Of art and madness
This has been Neatoramaed, BoingBoinged, and probably Slashdotted and Metafiltered too, but I just have to mention it: Louis Wain's Schizophrenic Art. I've seen lots of Wain's illustrations; at one point I think I even had a set of stickers that were reproductions of his cats. I think it's fascinating to see how his cats changed from clever-looking, Tobermoryesque beasties in lovely outfits to scary abstract monsters as his illness progressed.
