This guy don't act as a blind person... and his color choices are better than a regular artists... I need more evidence too lol

[Schaemia]

This is pretty cool! But how does he know which colours he is using??? I mean, I know they said he can mix colours by feeling the textures, so does he 'feel' the colours as well? O_o

"Pretty talented for a blind guy?" How about "damn talented."

This is amazing and inspiring.

Thats almost impossible. If you haven't seen the persons face but you get it just perfectly, you know, getting the face exactly like the person... hmmmm... I can see how he can paint other abstract like faces... hnmmm... I don't know.... I mean, I can see how you CAN use your imagination to slowly and carefully draw or paint a face... but... I need more evidence... time lapse please.
