The Paul Smith Foundation Keyboard smiley faces made with a colon and a parenthesis. That's nothing : ) Paul Smith has been creating famous smiles using only a typewriter for seven decades. In spite of his severe cerebral palsy, he manages to craft portraits and landscapes by using one hand to hit the keys and the other to steady his typing hand. He uses only 10 characters on the keyboard, but that doesn't impede his artistic expression. With a variety of color typewriter ribbons, Mr. Smith creates idyll scenes and patriotic renderings. His online gallery shows just 15 of his more than 300 creations. See how he manages to go from a few keystrokes to a full portrait in a "time-lapse" exhibit. Then gather inspiration from this remarkable man and his remarkable skills. (in Arts & Humanities > Artists)
