The right way to use your mouth

Life can be cruel, so cruel that it leaves you without any arms. Life can be hard, so hard that your legs won’t move even though you want them to.

It’s everyone’s nightmare to lose the ability to use all of their limbs or in other words, become a quadriplegic. Unfortunately, their are many people who exist with quadriplegia, but their is one unique person we are looking into who defies the laws of human nature.

 The mind can really push the limits of someones potential, far beyond anyones comprehension. Knowing me, I would give up on life if I lose a finger! Not Shiro Kotobuki. His work is superb, excellent, amazing, out of this world, and he draws all of them with his mouth! As far as I know, the reason for his handicap was due to some accident that paralyzed his body. Yet after losing a great deal, he managed to build himself anew. So how does his do it? He uses computer technology and a simple paint program. A ”pen” is attached to a stick that enables him to reach onto a white surface. Is that considered cheating? Of course not! Art doesn’t have to be strictly pen and paper. His artwork can also be seen elsewhere. He was also created the characters in Rumble Roses for the 360. The game itself was poor, but naturally the characters were beyond stunning.

Thanks to Fuji Televion for making it difficult to find videos of him working first hand at his desk, but I managed to find one through someone else’s site
