Francis Tsai ALS

I heard about this awhile ago but sorta forgot about it. Then I saw an update on Kotaku about it. I am surprised there isn't a thread anywhere on here about it. Just thinking about it almost brings me to tears. As an artist this is my worst fear come to life.

In 2010 Tsai was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. It slowly took away his ability to draw with his hands. He learned how to draw with his feet and then the disease took that way too. Now he is drawing with his eyes.

All these were made using eye tracking hardware/software. Freaking insane.

That's sad and inspiring at the same time.

Also ridiculously scary.

I wanted to necro bump this thread to mention this Kickstarter for an art book that was put together to help Francis and others with ALS. I'm not a big donation person nor do I back many projects on Kickstarter but man... this project pulls my heart strings.

Only two days left.

That's f#*@ing dedication. Will be sharing this, good to see it already got funding, but a few more bucks couldn't hurt!
