Chinese Artist Huang Guofu Paints Using Only His Mouth & Feet. Huang Guofu didn’t let the childhood accident that left him armless at the age of four interfere with his love for painting.
Instead, he taught himself to paint with his feet at the age of 12. He recalls staying up all night at times just to practice. After his father fell ill, Guong, 18 at the time, quit school and decided to pursue painting as a profession in order to help pay for treatments. He started selling his art on the streets where some purchased his work purely out of sympathy. Guong soon started traveling to different cities to sell his artwork; after hearing that his paintings lacked elegance because of his technique, he taught himself to use the brush with his teeth.

Friends: When I grew up in Springfield, Missouri, the Green County Courthouse had a small replica of the Statue of Liberty out in front of it.
In the course of learning about local history, I found out that the statue was one of many such replicas dedicated around the country by the Boy Scouts in the 1920s and 30s. Kind of makes you wonder, why we can’t even do something like that anymore. Our public memorials rarely have much heft or national scope (the OKC Bombing Memorial a notable exception). Our post office makes itself busy with Disney character stamps and the U.S. So what do we do then with the gift that we have been given with this project? Here’s my pitch, less than a hour before May 4th, International Star Wars Day, fades into the sunset. When the word went forth about this project, I was bowled over by the response. We have all of those connections. Now, though, that can’t happen officially. But it does have to be something. We want to be awesome again. 00012.jpg (JPEG Image, 627x472 pixels) Os Gémeos + Blu, Lisbon. Some amazing things are happening in Lisbon; this wall is just incredible, and Sam3 is getting in on the action too.
Of course, Blu's bloated corporate figure sucking the world dry is very topical. Update: the eyes of the fat corporate guy are suspended from the roof, so move in the wind. so good. See more Blu + more Os Gémeos. artists: Blu + Os Gémeoslocation: Lisbon via Os Gémeos' blog.
