Untitled - Date Unknown - Recreation of Ads using found paper and charcoal - James Castle - Deaf Artist from Idaho
James Castle is a deaf and mute artist from Idaho who taught himself to draw and paint. His family had little money, so he fashioned his art supplies from found sticks, used paper, and charcoal from the fireplace (often mixed with spit). While poor, he became a prolific artist who self-discovered art concepts like perspective, shading, color theory, and more. His work is currently on display worldwide.
