You gotta see this..
Hello All my wonderful painterly friends! I know I havent been around too much, the heat is finally gone here in SoCal and I've been working my behind off doing other things like earning that paycheck, and cleaning..including my studio. We have a fairly new co-worker at work. Yesterday I played a little joke on my District Manager..He likes his office dark and that always bugged me, so, I sketched a little "cave" pic to tape on his door. Anyway, my new co worker, who'd seen some of my paintings and drawings, said that her brother in law draws too, and she brought in a photo of an ink sketch he did very recently. The importance of this sketch truly amazed me, as her brother in law is 37 years old and quadraplegic from a gunshot. He has minimal use of his hands and cannot hold a pen or brush, but he can hold a clipboard with paper on it. This sketch was done holding the pen with his teeth. She says that it takes him awhile to really get up the urge or the mind set to do a drawing like this, but when he does, he really does them well. I thought you might like to look at this sketch he did with his teeth. I will post it in the photo section labled "Frank Espinosa". I think there's something here and I think this young man has found a way..
