Schizophrenics are actually overrepresented in creative professions and perhaps most so among artists. One schizophrenic artist I really like is Ralph Albert Blakelock; I find his paintings outright mesmerizing. At first glance, I reckoned that he was yet another Romanticist obsesessed with moonlight, albeit extremely skilled, but since I learned that he developed schizophrenic symptoms and was institutionalized, it colours my impression of his paintings and they become dreamy and otherwordly. Anyways, I really like his paintings and maybe others here do too.
