The man who paints with his nose
- 7 Aug 06, 12:18 PM
Gille Legacy is a Canadian artist. He has CP and has no use of his arms or legs. So he paints with his nose. Gille's website
is currently under construction, but there's already a lot of information about Gille and his art in its pages. Rather frustratingly, it's one of those sites where the URL remains the same whichever page you're visiting, which means that Lady Bracknell can't provide you with links to the best bits. However, if you use the menu to the right of the screen you can navigate to biographical details by clicking on "The Nose Man"; to examples of Gille's paintings by clicking on "By A Nose/Art"; and to examples of his poetry by clicking on "By A Nose/Poetry".
Video interviews are coming later, as is a store section from which you'll be able to buy an assortment of poetry books and nose-created greeting cards.
(As Gille says, "I mean, we artists have to eat, right?")
Gille and the love of his life, Sandi, are getting married on the 13th of August. So, if you're signing the guestbook on his site, you may want to take the opportunity to wish them both well.
