Wasn't Matt the one doing the paintings?
As for talent and being dangerous, they are not mutually exclusive. Adolph Hilter, for instance, was an artist. If you look up Hilter's paintings, they have a lot of detail.
Adolph's art work is very stilted. His people are wooden. Just because they can do art work does not make them an artist. But I am not objective. I cannot separate the person from the work.
