I agree with some other posters, and with Patricia Cornwell, that Sickert may have written some of the Ripper letters, but it doesn't mean he committed any of the Ripper crimes. Sickert was a very sensitive "artist" type, so I believe the idea of stabbing women and removing their internal organs would have been too revolting to him.
Have any serial killers been writers or painters or artists of any kind? I can't think of any.... |

Hi Lee,
John Wayne Gacy, was an artistic painter. Richard Ramirez, was known to draw and sketch. These are just two serial killers. Their works of art have been posted online. Some of which, has even been sought after as collector items (Johnathan Davis, singer for the band "Korn", is an enthuasist of serial killer artwork).
Hope this helps,
Dustin Gould. |

Hi both.
The fact is Gacy was a crap artist. He used the sales of his work, like his own exploitation of the murders, for his own gain.
Plenty of serial killers have taken up art but it doesn't mean they have a talent.
Peter Sutcliffe (The Yorkshire Ripper) paints, I have some artwork sent to me by Dennis Nilsen (The Butcher Of Muswell Hill), Henry Lee Lucas painted for cash, Manson does doodles but the best quality serial killer art I have ever seen was from one of the most reviled killers of all time. The Moors Murderer Ian Brady is a genuinely very good artist.
