What's the hottest market in America for outsider artists, artists with no formal training who create work on the fringes of the traditional art institutions? EGG spends a day at the Outsider Art Fair in New York City and gets an inside look at Outsider Art.

Ralph Howell
Virtually anything can be turned into a pinhole camera: a cereal box, a coconut, or even a cowboy boot. EGG visits Ralph Howell, a high school photography teacher and pinhole camera expert from San Antonio, Texas.

Vollis Simpson
On a former mule pasture in Lucama, NC, dozens of colorful, windmill-like sculptures clang and whirl in the breeze. Vollis Simpson's "whirligigs" are made from whatever material he finds, from road signs to plane parts, and stand up to 50 feet tall.
