The 76-year-old Saul is exactly the sort of machete-wielding painter that contemporary art needs today. Blessed with a chronic case of artistic Tourette's, he delights in japes at the most varied cultural targets—Republicans and Democrats, hedge funders and hipster artists, bandwagoners and vanguardists alike come in for his savage Sioux scalping.

I do sketches that are more about ... well, I don't know what they're about. They're creature-like people. ... Most are graphic and downright ugly; some are nightmarish. A few have sexual components. I have no explanation, other than this is what occurs to me when I'm not censoring myself. I don't really like them, myself. It strikes me as a sort of artistic Tourette's (apologies to anyone who actually has Tourette's -- this is meant purely as analogy), but instead of swearing or throwing things, I make ugly images.

I always love the cheekiness with the phallic imagery…you just can’t help yourself- it must be like a form of artistic Tourette’s ... then a response ... I will now be adding the phrase “artistic Tourette’s” into my venacular!

Kanye has artistic Tourette’s, and, in a world where young pop stars like Justin Bieber are ready for prime-time interviews before they’ve hit puberty, West’s unmanageability is a gift. His sins are usually only offenses to the gods of etiquette—and they are almost always entertaining. They’re also, occasionally, valuable.

That's probably my problem. There's not much of a filter there. If I'm writing a song and I feel like 'Oh, I better not say that', then I have to say it. It's kind of like a weird artistic Tourette's syndrome.

Anything, *anything* experimental is going to run up against this kind of thing. There are a lot of people for whom freedom of expression takes on a kind of artistic Tourette’s disease – poop! boobs! penises! It may not all be bad or post-art school-y, “look at me, I can draw anything I WANT!” but a lot of it is self-serving in that the artist doesn’t really have much else to say past the scat, the breasts, the tumescent penises.

However, I can’t entirely dismiss it. Upon reflection, it’s not quite a radical break from the work Mazzucchelli has done before, and it’s hardly an artistic Tourette’s outburst.

Alec Empire's artistic Tourette syndrome shows no signs of abating. Weeks after the release of Atari Teenage Riot's '60 Second Wipe Out', he returns with this: the latest addition to Digital Hardcore's Limited Edition series and yet another involuntary spasm - of politically-fired - noise terror.

James Cann now married living in a small village with his family in Devon will undoubtedly be responsible for future entries in the Oxford English Dictionary. Words and phrases coined by Cann in the late seventies through to the mid-nineties took resonance with the Devonshire locals and his peers. His self made lifestyle led to a distinct distaste for "wasters" and those not "pulling their weight." This coupled with an emotional restraint and a quirky but harmless temper led to an artistic Tourette like ability to insult individuals at the core of their being without them knowing or having a clue as the severity of the insult.

Believe it or not, I try to keep myself rather style-neutral so that I'm ready to draw anything from Tom & Jerry to Spiderman or whatever. However, a style just comes through all the time. It's like a case of Artistic Tourette Syndrom or something.

Aloha From Hawaii, Mahalo's Bruddah for Kind Consideration, in Spite of My Consistant Bad Behavior. I Think I Have a Disability like Artistic Tourettes. You are in the Groove where your talent lies.

Shy, softspoken Nadine Mercil and her disturbing dolls and dollhouses --the opposite person of what I expected. The upsetting words worked into her pieces (which she says are not true) are compulsively present, like an artistic tourettes syndrome.
