Touch me someplace

I saw this documentary about the provocative American cartoonist John Callahan (54). At the age of 21 Callahan got involved in a serious car-accident and was paralyzed from the waist down.

Drawing cartoons became his way to express himself although he can hardly use his hands. With a pen clutched between his hands, he draws cynical and ruthless observations of mankind. His work is praised and criticised.

His way of dealing with macabre subjects and physical disabilities, maiming and dismemberment draws him to the dark but beautifull cartoons and music he's know for.


Check rare footage of him performing 'touch me some place I can feel' in his living room.
