He paints better than most people with hands! Awesome talent!

I especially love his artwork how he depicts the black women with their distinctive features. With high cheekbones, full lips and exotic eyes that are so alive on Canvas. Its like each women is stepping off the canvas greeting you from the land of our great ancestors. Still I rise, still I rise, still I rise…

Man I dont care if He dont have hands, legs, ears, or nose. His Work is Amazing.
I would buy on sight. They are Vivid. Like He goes on the edge but not over. Theres presence in his artwork because He has taken his disadvantage and turned into an advantage for him. Good for him

Humans are capable of wonderful things when they dedicate themselves like this young man has. Wishing him continued success and happiness. He had an awesome mother, too, may she rest in peace!

As an artist myself, he’s an inspiration.

What an amazing and inspirational young man! His mother is also an amazing individual who should be held in high regard for the love she had for her baby boy, and gave him the mental tools to follow his dreams by over coming physical obstacles. His work is STUNNING! 🥰🙏🏽✌🏽💖

Phenomenal Man & Phenomenal Artist. Awesome that his Mother, Grandmother & Mentor positively encouraged his gift. Great human interest story

[timothymcclain]

He's an incredible man and artist! I'm so inspired by his story. He is able to make a way out of no way! His determination came from his Mom who told him that excellence was expected. He has lived up to that promise.

This is a blessing that his mom and grandma helped him get to where he is now. He is very talented and blessed. The things we take for granted someone else doesn't have. If he did it anyone can no matter what disadvantages you may have.
