We report on a patient who newly developed an artistic skill after starting treatment for Parkinson's disease. This case offers i nsight into the neurology of the artistic process as well as into the patho physiology of psychiatric adverse reactions to the treatment of PD. (C) 200 1 Movement Disorder Society.
