Most artists would be upset if their vision started to go. John Bramblitt was the opposite – he saw it as a challenge and used art as an outlet for his feelings. He paints with his fingers and feels the shapes using “slick paint” – a medium that dries very quickly so he can feel the shapes.
His art is truly incredible, the images are powerful and striking and considering his condition looking at them is quite moving. This small documentary is featured on his site along with his artwork – do check it out.
Very interesting… Nice.
I wonder what his dreams are like…
That’s absolutely amazing
Thanks for the post.
Wow, that is truly amazing. Lots of respect for his stance in life.

Missing eyes and still can paint with perspective.
I work with a blind student who is studying art at college, she has been creating some amazing work and we are always seeking new mediums for tactile art work. Where do i get slick paint in the UK? or what is the UK’s alternative to slick paint?
Thank you!!!!!
