I clicked on this link thinking of Louis Wain and his cats. I was surprised to see most of the images looking generally similar to each other and unlike Wain's work. It makes me think maybe people looking for "outsider art" are looking for art that fits a narrow stereotype.

This collection, and "outsider art" in general, seem to be about untrained, self-taught artists. Louis Wain was schizophrenic, but he studied at the West London School of Art and made a living as an artist for years.
