ART - some interesting links

American artist John Bramblitt started to lose his sight when he was just eight years old, and he became completely blind due to epilepsy when he was in his thirties. Today, he can’t see shadows or forms, but still has light perception. And so his only escape from depression became drawing. John has developed his own style: he blends the colors of oil paints to specific shades by his sense of touch, and uses textures to navigate the canvas...

 Ghidaq al-Nizar is an Indonesian artist who makes a thoroughly unconventional kind of art. He creates incredible pictures with coffee, or makes unusual drawings with the dregs of his last cup.

CINCO DE MAYO - 5 May

CINCO DE MAYO is a celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.
