Is this a real thing? If it is I'm seriously impressed

Googled him, he passed away in 2007. What a neat thing to educate us on OP, thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Smith_(artist)

I used to clean his room in the nursing home he lived in. His work was so awesome and he was so kind.

For real though, some of these are legitimately amazing!
presce
I second this.
mrsmile10
interested too. i'm gonna hang it on my wall as inspiration.
HrdWodFlor
There is no place I can find that sells them. Maybe find a high def photo make your own print then make a donation to a CP research group.
Sephibabi
I'm pretty sure they are still located at the nursing home he passed away in.
HrdWodFlor
He had be doing them since his 30s. But it looks like no one was able to get the rights to sell the prints after he was gone.
SpazmaticJ
Was not prepared for them feels, woeh
Captainplanetmotherfucker
Seriously, if this doesn't want to make you live your dream or master a skill, there's something not right.

Good on him! Such amazing talent!

How the fuck did he...? I have two fully functional arms and anything I draw looks like I had a stroke while holding a pen.

TerroristsYourGameIsThroughCauseNowYouHaveToAnswerTo
Make no mistakes, I have an enormous amount of respect for this man, he is fantastically skilled and a model for us all
stardy
looks like he hits one key at a time to go a direction, which would allow him to get rid of his cerebral palsy affecting his intentions
Sasarious
Well did you put thousands of hours into learning and practice like he did?
ac112
Ye-no..... :(.
dadenns
I'm sure he did.
ICantBelieveIGotOutOfBedForThis
I imagine the pen stroking thing comes naturally.
Barkinsons
Practice and patience. I copy pictures too, it's somehow rewarding to see progress

He was an awesome chess player as well I don't remember him ever losing a match.
Sephibabi
I used to clean his room at the nursing home. He was so nice. Did you know him?
ThatDamPlatypus
I was 10. I delivered papers and Went in once a week to visit him and play chess, bought a print from him for a school report.

Yep. That's how it works.

His "something to do" and mine are so entirely different. Mine being mostly masturbation related

I had no idea that people with cerebral palsy could live this long. I've never seen one older than like 40.
purplecumbrella
Yeah it doesn't really affect much relatively speaking (it's an awful disease), just motor skills
mrcanadier
you know that feeling when you have sleep paralysis but manage to move the tiniest bit if you try really hard? I've always imagined 1/2
mrcanadier
that is what it would be like to have a disease that affects the muscles/motor neurons, am I correct at all?
purplecumbrella
I'd imagine it would be similar. The neurons aren't sending the right signals to the right parts so you can think to move your leg, but
purplecumbrella
It doesn't happen, and I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating that is to experience EVERY second of your life. Bless these people
BeauGusAppellation
My father was born with it and he's 71.
idontneedyourrulesman
My uncle has CP, he is 85 and going strong!
Justabothan
Discovered I had it after getting injured in the service, it is even listed on my DD-214.. am 42 and plan to be around a lot longer.
skyphantom
Hell yea! That is awesome A: that you got through MEPS with cerebral palsy, and B: that you're the badass that is gonna outlive 1/2..
skyphantom
a ton of people without the trait you do. 2/2

superseriouscomments
Instead we could look at art of people who didn't die.
NikoPhiNiko
as long as you dont quadruple the cost when you find the cure im all for it
lordblight
I would make it cost just enough to cover the salaries of the geniuses that discovered then I'd win all the world's lottery's and pay for it
ostiniatoze
Well, Mister Blight, the best way would probably absolute annihilation of every living organism.
lordblight
Well, I could do that, I have that power, but I'd miss you

awwww...
rbudrick
You came to the wrong place for that , my friend.
iwantallyourdowmvotes
The population is already too high. Please don't.

I would also invent free space travel with the instant ability to colonize any space object and matter conversion to end hunger

I applaud you. But for the record Cerebral Palsy isn't a disease. Not trying to be petulant, just trying to inform. Source:my brother has CP
lordblight
1/2 I do know that but I was just making a general statement on health issues.
lordblight
2/2 I also don't think you are being petulant but I'll be sure after I look that up :-D
GoogleFucker
No worries, I'm just so used to seeing people on here take personal offense, so I figured I'd get it out of the way, lol
lordblight
I hear that. I shall not be one of those.
uchronia
For now you could send this guy a typewriter with a different character set. More shapes to work with.
lordblight
Do they even make those?
SquirrellyWhirly
Someone could work with him to design one specifically for what he would like.
lordblight
That's a great idea.
uchronia
How do you think people drafted documents in non-roman alphabet languages before computers? 'course they do
lordblight
No, I meant currently manufacture them. Does anyone make new typewriters.
uchronia
Sure. There are also zillions of old ones lying around in good condition, since they're purely mechanical machines.
Madseason91
Having cerebral palsy too..fucking do it...P.S born at 6 months weighed 2 pounds 1oz
