Nic Blinko (with David Tibet (hat) )
Blinko is the guitarist/singer for the band Rudimentary Peni, published author, and renowned artist....he suffers from a form of Schizophrenia called Schizoaffective disorder in which the afflicted persons goes through abnormally long psychotic episodes of highly elevated depression mixed with psychosis and uncontrollable mood swings and hallucinations
so basically he is one of those crazy people you avoid when walking through city streets
but he was able to find an outlet through both music and art as a means of somewhat contriving his horrible sickness and in many ways has at least overcome it to a level of sustainability
