Inked Fingerprints

Bits of irregular paper (homemade paper)

That didn’t stop him though! He still paints with a brush strapped to his wrist. In 1988, he suffered from a rare spinal artery collapse, leaving him in a wheel chair and with little use of his hands.

First, he draws a grid on the photograph, then transfers it to larger canvass. From a distance, the spots of color create a single, unified image. It looks so real!
