My Blind Dad Can Draw

Recently I was visiting my parents and their neighbours were over, he was bragging about me and my ability to draw (as Dads do) and they asked where I inherited my gifts from, he replied I used to draw cartoons.

They were somewhat shocked...why you ask? Well, my Dad is visually impaired, pretty much blind. He starting loosing his eye sight to a rare incurable disease when he 30. I don't remember much of my dad's drawings and it had been many many years since I have seen them. 

My sister went rummaging to prove to their neighbours he could draw, she pulled out a very old sketch book and a bunch of very old, torn A3 pieces of butcher paper and everyone started to go through them. Each time we saw a new one, we would describe it to Dad so he knew what we were looking at, he pretty much remembered most of them (not sure how he remembers so much!) My Dad is amazing by the way (and my Mum) but stories for another day.

I even forgot how good he was, like I said it had been years since I had seen them. So I wanted to share some of the photos I took of these crumpled, stained pieces of paper.

He was a young boy and teenage when he drew these, he often just drew bits and pieces and didn't always do a complete picture.
