Doug Landis, Mouth Art

6 04 2010

Doug Landis wasn’t an artist until a high school wrestling accident left him quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. Concerned that Doug was spending too much time in front of the TV, his brother challenged him to draw and placed a pencil in Doug’s mouth. Doug practiced a lot and with time, he discovered his own style. You can read his full story on his website.

You can draw that well with your mouth and all you do is boring-ass photo copies? What a waste!
