That's exactly what Amado Dulnuan did. I remember interviewing him for a school project around ten years ago. My mom helped me find him through AMFPA, the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (AMFPA), which sends us greeting cards and calendars featuring works of artists without hands. Amado was born without arms but started painting with his foot at a young age, even taking up Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines-Diliman. For a married man with two daughters, his everyday life is surprisingly like a regular workday (except that he works from home and his artworks are seen by people all over the world).
AMFPA marks its 50th anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate it than with quality cards? Help support these talented artists. Check out the local sites for Denmark and the Philippines, as well as AMFPA scholar John Roland Feruelo's website.
