What a great post. I was groomed for fine art school since I was a child, and had my portfolio all ready to apply for some of the top art and design schools in the country when I was stricken with what would later manifest as RA and UCTD. With curled in fingers, I could no longer paint or draw. It was devestating. I didn't know how to think of myself as anything other than "an artist". Somehow, I managed to channel my creative talents into writing and gained admittance to a pretty renouned program in screenwriting. It took me four years to consider what I do now "art" - the writing I mean. But I guess I do. It is my art. It's good to say that again :) thank you. While I can't really share that kind of art with you all here, I can suggest that you check out my blog - http://glutenfreeincleveland.blogspot.com - as an example of my work. Thanks for connecting so many disabled artists with one another!!

I just recently started drawing using chalk pastels. I've never drawn before. My real talent lies in poetry writing. I can vent all my frustrations on paper in writing. I haven't quite mastered how to translate that into a drawing yet.

 

 

My Disaboom handle is what I do. I'm an amateur cartoonist. well, sort of.  I'll admit I've made some $$$ out there but not enough to support a family.  As soon as someone explains to me how to upload some samples I'll do just that.  I use the simplest of programs: "Paint" found on every microsoft program.  I draw with the mouse and it brings a lot of what I call the Three E's: Enlighten, educate, and entertain. My little profile pic is a rather warped and distorted example.  The whole picture, which I chopped and squeezed is entitled "Light at the end of the tunnel." so, someone show me an easy way to share some of my goofy stuff please.

So lay a little poetry on us.  

Here's a cartoon of one of the instructors in our group. I've done caricatures of all of them.  This is a frame from our training newsletter....Again, this is drawn by a mouse: pixel-by-pixel.  I call my pictures "LO-TEK-ARTOONS" because they are primitive, one-panel, and basic.

Here's another one.....
