Paralysed British Man Paints Usain Bolt Using Only His Mouth!

A 23-year-old paralysed British man has managed to paint Jamaica’s Usain Bolt using only his mouth to hold the brush.

The man, Henry Fraser sustained life changing injuries at the age of 17  after he smashed his head on a seabed following a mistimed dive.

He dislocated four vertebrae in his neck, rendering him paralysed and no longer able to do many of the things he loved.

Though now disabled, Henry never lost his love for art.

According to British Tabloid The Mirror:

Henry, whose accident was in July 2009, said: “At the beginning of this year I was in stuck in bed ill.

“I was really bored and looked at my iPad which I use for writing.

“I found a drawing app and used a stick in my mouth to draw on it.

“I realised I could do it and enjoyed it.

“As soon as I was better I decided to get some paper out and carry on drawing.

“I do portraits in pencil and watercolours in paints.

“I try and paint a couple a week.

“I take commissions from friends.
