OT: Amazing pictures (done on a typewriter)

[Guest guest]

Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. When there is a will,

there's a way. Might not be easy, but could be amazing.

********************************************************************

, the man with extraordinary talent was born in Philadelphia

on September 21, 1921 with severe cerebral palsy.

Not only had beaten the odds of a life with spastic cerebral palsy, a

disability that impeded his speech & mobility but also taught himself to

become a master artist as well as a terrific chess player even after being

devoid of a formal education as a child.

'When typing, used his left hand to steady his right one. Since he

couldn't press two keys at the same time, he almost always locked the shift

key down and made his pictures using the symbols at the top of the number

keys. In other words, his pictures were based on these characters .... @ # $

% ^ & * ( ) _ .

Across seven decades, created hundreds of pictures. He often gave the

originals away. Sometimes, but not always, he kept or received a copy for

his own records.

As his mastery of the typewriter grew, he developed techniques to create

shadings, colors, and textures that made his work resemble pencil or

charcoal drawings.'

This great man passed away on June 25, 2007, but left behind a collection of

his amazing artwork that will be an inspiration for many.
