Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Paintings by a Congenitally Blind Man

Esref Armagan was born blind to an impoverished Turkish family.
First, using a Braille stylus, he etches an outline of his drawing… When he is satisfied with his drawing, he starts to apply the oils with his fingers. Because he applies only one color at a time (the colors would smear otherwise), he must wait two or three days for the color to dry before applying the next color
His work has been displayed at dozens of exhibitions in Turkey and in Europe. 
A gallery of his work (non-flash version).
