Its funny that people think because you have a "disability" you cant contribute any thing to society but this man is a genus in my eyes, great work sir.
Oh what I would haven given to have met this brilliant man with a big heart. I’m just seeing this in the time of Covid, May 2020. Thank you for posting! This is truly inspirational. I am a painter whose works had been in galleries, and I am so impressed with this man labeled “handicapped” and what he has done. I’m completely baffled why ANYONE would be so heartless to give this a thumbs down.
As a painter myself I'm beyond impressed with his skill... but we shouldn't neglect to make mention of his impressive chess talent as well. Notice at 2:45 our man plays ...Bd4+ which forces the white king to f3. The video resumes a few moves later and reveals that he saw and made use of a beautiful tactic called a discovered attack. The next move was Re3+ which leaves white with another forced move, back to f2. Now, although the knight on c3 is protected by the pawn on b2, black is able to make use of his bishop on d4 in a special way by moving the rook over to c3--capturing the knight--and at the same time exposing white's king to the scope of the bishop. White is unable to recapture the rook in this move as he has to move his king and black is now certainly winning. 0-1 Good game.
Just more proof of the amazing perseverance of the human mind. I think Paul is a reminder that although society doesn't like to admit the existence of those deemed 'in need,' great humanity can exist in any body.
Just always count your blessings. When I see this I feel I have no problems. My granddaughter has cerebral palsy and confined to a wheelchair but she is not near this severe and I've always counted my blessings that she can talk, and do everything else other than walk.
It's nice to see that someone can still find a way to be artistic with a horrible disability like that. Plus he seems like an incredibly nice guy. I'd rather meet someone like him more than any entitled celebrity any day.
So amazing. I am so glad I watched it today for the first time. I don't wish to complain about ANYTHING henceforth instead I thank God for Health and that my limbs are functioning. RIP Paul. You have inspired me today.
His parents are the real heros to me. Allowing him to develop a talent that would have otherwise die with him. Very impressive. Its hard enough raising one healthy child.
This man makes the very, very BEST of what he has and what he can do....his determination and patience know no limits! What an amazing example he is for all of us!
Such a mighty blessing.. I am touch, inspired, Paul, you make me love life and people ! You are a miracle and a source of joy. May God keep you with us much longer, we need your love of life !
I just had this sent to me tonight, 3/2021, and all I can say is WOW!!!!! How would you ever discover this talent!? And how amazing it would be to get your hands on a piece of that art!!
Mysterious ways? hmmm.. he sounds like a mean if not hateful guy. Causing disease, famine, natural disasters, allowing wars, destruction and horrific death. Even the pain of the very young and very innocent. For all of these (if he really existed) he could easily intervene. And yet he doesn't? Thats the mystery. :-)
I've heard of different gifted people, but I had tears when I saw what this wonderful, happy man could do. His artistic work is so amazing! I paint, but I could never ever paint anything as beautiful as his typewriter. Much love to him❤ Thank you for showing his wonderful work!❤🤗🌻

Amazing, beautiful work, Astonishing talent. I never heard of Mr Smith before coming here today, and was sad to find out of his passing a few years back, his work, if it isn't already, should be hanging along side other masterpieces in galleries, they are on a level far above what passes for art these days.
I am totally impressed. He even has a reproduction of a Paul Detlifson painting we had over the couch in our living room. What a guy! No whining here. God love this man.
This is absolutely incredible. Some people will think because of his disibility, he has no talent, he has no real thoughts going on in his brain. But this defies all of that. He is incredibly talented. If only he could use pens and paints, he'd probably be one of the world's most respected artists by now. Amazing. My hat goes off to this man.
+Spacemonkeymojo or maybe they disliked this because this video made them feel sad that paul has to go through this disease or that this video reminded them of their family member or friend who also suffered from this condition
+Kelvin HJD If that would be the case these people should, on the contrary, celebrate that someone like Paul can still achieve amazing things like that giving other people with the same desease hope.
+Kelvin HJD I would _never_ dislike a video because of trials someone went through or referenced. I only dislike videos if I'm offended, so like Spacemonkeymojo, I really fail to understand why people would dislike such a touching video as this.
Lavenderrose73 dont get me wrong but i dont understand too. I was watching some michael jackson videos and someone commented that she had to dislike the video because it made her cry (the user said she missed him a lot) lol!!
I am so proud of this gentleman's work , and he's so humble. I would even like to get one of his works if I could get in touch with him. I admire him and his paintings. Amazing work! I'm sorry, I didn't know he had passed away until I read the comment below. Now I feel sad I hadn't seen this before. RIP Mr. Smith.
Aww wow!! bless Paul!! Such an inspiration. Really liked the part when they said if someone says they could never do that about his art, he replies 'what can you do?' Amazing! X
Great works, Paul!! Your positive attitude to life makes me feel ashamed I sometimes feel "hard done by"...... I will keep your video-clip to remind myself to be thankful for my health.....
ASCII art on a masterpiece level... just, wow. And you couldn't even do this on a computer... I never even thought about how old typewriters' alignment issues could be taken advantage of like this... But yeah, I guess you really would only need characters like # = + - ( ) . , / \ to perfectly simulate pointillism, pen strokes, and cross-hatching... Which also means that he can'tve made rough versions, he would've had to have done it all manipulating his one sole copy available to him. Impressive to be able to do that when copying by eyesight... even a traditional artist would struggle with that.
This was about a man and his amazing talent. Yes his faith was mentioned because this man believes and thanks GOD for his talent. You might not believe and that is your choice but why do you have to bring all that hate into something that was about something beautiful. Just because you do or do not believe in God does not mean that you don't appreciate talent and the art created from that person's talent but by attacking their faith, when it was all about talent to begin with is nothing but hate. This world will NEVER get better if we don't all stop attacking each other over EVERYTHING! Just because he thanks God for his talent does not mean you can't just simply enjoy the fruits of his labor no matter what you do or do not believe!!
OMG!!!!! If only more people thought this way. I believe in God so when someone thanks God or any kind of video online thanks God for something it makes me happy because well some are scared to share who they believe because of how mean others are. In school people made fun of me for going to church and I never understood that.
Just more proof of what the power of God can do. It transforms lives. It gives people a reason to live, a love for beauty, and a creative passion. He says his talent is a gift from God. Do I believe it? Yes I do.
+jim jimmy I think they don't mean "god", but the "believe in god". Maybe there's no "god" who gave him this power, but it doesn't matter, because he believed in god. This belief gave him this "power".
Its funny that people think because you have a "disability" you cant contribute any thing to society but this man is a genus in my eyes, great work sir.
I can say I am one of the proud people who got to know him a little, many years ago. He was such a nice man. He had an amazing talent. RIP Paul!

Ryan Paszek and as an atheist I must say that mistakenly attributing his talents to the supernatural is trivial and annoying.

+Jason ON Agreed !!!
and he has cerebral pulsey.But that doesn't stop him
Breathtaking talent! This moved me to almost tears. I have never seen anything like this. It is truly inspirational.
Same here!!! It made me emotional to know that he has passed away.
I have no words for this brilliant, resilient, generous man hats off and true motivation for youth.😀😀
Just always count your blessings. When I see this I feel I have no problems. My granddaughter has cerebral palsy and confined to a wheelchair but she is not near this severe and I've always counted my blessings that she can talk, and do everything else other than walk.

Mehrun Ramji what a wonderful comment! I’m glad you found Paul as inspiring as I did. He was quite a special person. -John Stofflet, reporter.
This is the 8th wonder, a supper human. Hats off to him. No human can dislike him.
Mr. Smith, from one person with cerebral palsy to another, I thank you for the lesson. I wish you continued good fortune.
A true artist can never be stopped :)
Amen
His parents are the real heros to me. Allowing him to develop a talent that would have otherwise die with him. Very impressive. Its hard enough raising one healthy child.
Sometimes the word genius is used so easily to describe someone. This guy is beyond genius. This is something else !!
Semma Da
"I could never do that!"
"What *can* you do?"
The intensity and truth of this absolutely floors me.
Paul Smith makes me feel so happy and so lazy! Thank you Paul for giving us so much beauty.
With out a doubt the best typewriter artist I have ever heard of! I'm sure he is loved by everyone who knows him!
This man makes the very, very BEST of what he has and what he can do....his determination and patience know no limits! What an amazing example he is for all of us!
"His determination is *endless*"
Thanks, Tim, that was great.
Has to rank as one the most talented artists I've ever seen!!!
Sometimes--most of the time even--the greatest source of humility and wisdom lies in the weakest among us. We have a lot to learn from them.
Such a mighty blessing.. I am touch, inspired, Paul, you make me love life and people ! You are a miracle and a source of joy. May God keep you with us much longer, we need your love of life !
i just want to hug him!!! this warmed my heart!!! ❤❤❤
I failed a typing test,shame on me but truly this is so amazing to watch.Paul is a hero.
I just had this sent to me tonight, 3/2021, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
How would you ever discover this talent!? And how amazing it would be to get your hands on a piece of that art!!
OMG this vid brought me into tears. He is so inspirational and an amazing talent.
His works belongs to museum.
God bless him
This is so inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Art by typing, how incredible.!!!!! And a GIFT from GOD.. This Man will inspire you
All of us could learn much off this wonderful man... gratitude.
Amazing!
I wonder if God built the typewriter too.

I paint, but I could never ever paint anything as beautiful as his typewriter.
Much love to him❤
Thank you for showing his wonderful work!❤🤗🌻
What a beautiful soul! Truly incredible art work.
one man's typewriter, another man's paintbrush.....god i love how human brain works...
I come back to this video when I'm feeling a little down. Thanks Paul!

I cannot even imagine how to create a picture on a typewriter... Wow.. Thank you for the artwork!
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in the internet in a really long time
I am totally impressed. He even has a reproduction of a Paul Detlifson painting we had over the couch in our living room. What a guy! No whining here. God love this man.
This man is so inspiring. He uses his creativity to overcome his disability. He's done what no others have.
Incredible story. What determination to create. God Bless .
amazing! I wonder why some people who have a disability have such wonderful brain power to do things like this. Truly a blessing from God!
...an amazing piece, John! Thank you!

A cursory glance through this comment section will show that he is already a very respected artist
Absolutely amazing!
its a blessing to be on the earth the same time as this man.

And here I had the talent to draw and never did anything with it.
Truly awesome work, especially the portraits.
Such an amazing talent... God bless you Grandpa Paul.
This is one of the most beautiful and amazing thing I've encountered lately.
This just shows the insane difference between what we are taught to believe these people can do, and what they actually can achieve.
Aww wow!! bless Paul!! Such an inspiration. Really liked the part when they said if someone says they could never do that about his art, he replies 'what can you do?' Amazing! X

what...how the...that's amazing. and with cerebral palsy as well? jesus, what's my excuse.
Amazing and powerful. An extraordinary man indeed!
How does he do shading, like on the Mona Lisa portrait?
+Ion-SHIVs Lighter keystrokes maybe, I don't know how he can do any of it :D
By going over one area several times.
+Ion-SHIVs Do you really think he did those portraits? He push 3 keys at a time hahah it's impossible for him to do those pieces of art..
+Drian I know, eh? It looks impossible.
Perhaps he smudged the ink by hand?
He still has fingers after all.
This made my jaw drop. people with disabilities often have some of the most brilliant minds ever created.
