I got my inspirational fix.* This guy had cerebral palsy and
  created art using a typewriter, 10 symbol keys and a lot of
  creativity. A cerebral palsy website had more details on how he
  did it. - it went WELL beyond ASCII art alone but that's how it
  starts.* He'd smudge the ribbon, use colored inks, erase
  parts... but in the end, it truly was 10 symbols and a
  tyepwriter - and a man with an imagination trapped in a body
  that doesn't work well... but he made the best of it... and made
  art. Awesome stuff. ikr - I tried smudging the letters on my
  computer screen.* Just left a finger smudge.* Darn glass is in
  the way. :P*** Yeah when you think about it, it's another way to
  paint.* But instead of a paintbrush, he used the shapes of the
  letters. The brush stays still and he moves the paper around the
  brush very precisely. Really awesome stuff.
