Keira Rathbone, Painting With a Typewriter
63Welcome back to the world of unique things. I am glad to show to all of you that the world so colorful. I thought we have many question related with something unique, Why this could be happen? Oh my God, everything happened naturally without manipulation. I thought my friend hubbers know very well about my biggest interest in art. This time I’ll back with another talented person who dedicates herself in art. There’s no end if we talk about art. We give appreciation about the beauty, the history, even the reflection of art. For someone who likes art, I mean practitioners of the art always show this miracle as the reflection what they think about life. That’s why we can see hundreds of art styles out there.
Personally, I have written several hubs about art, and the most my hub told about painting, like: the beautiful of 3D painting, Kieron Williamson, The Young Picasso, The Most Expensive Art, Alyssa Monks, Photo in Painting, and my last hub told about Painting With Breast, An Original Ideas. The world looks so beautiful by the existence of art, right. But let’s back to the topic, I promise to you to show about another talented person in art. She is very special for me and she has great skill to demonstrated to us. I am talk again about the media. This made her so special, because she uses unique media. This is not a media for painting or drawing. She uses typewriter. As we know, we usually use pencil, crayons, oil paint, brushes or palette. But she is totally different, she use a media which we never thought before to use it for drawing or painting. I thought we all know the function of typewriter, as a media to type a letter not for drawing. Are you curious with her? Please continue to read…………
Her name is Keira Rathbone from Poole, Dorset, UK. She was graduated from The University of the West of England, Bristol. Actually she also uses common media in painting, like: pencil or oil paint. But her masterpiece is beautiful picture made from typewriter. That’s the difference between her and other artist. For me personally, this is a spectacular art work.
The history she can made beautiful pictures using Silver Reed 100 typewriter. It was made in the 60's with cost 5 £. She got this typewriter from charity shop to make the essay. But she found her talent after six months using this tool. She admitted that the first picture of her is a simple eye. But she felt that her picture was too simple. There’s no character inside the first picture and she felt slow to make the eye picture. But she never give up, after practicing a lot, she can made another beautiful pictures. Wow…… this could be a good motivation for us who want to achieve something with hard work and never give up as the most important thing to do. Please enjoy the picture below
To make a painting, Keira could spend about 90 hours using only his right index finger to type the various characters. These all generally in the form of punctuation, like: comma, the connecting lines, slashes, parentheses, quotation marks. She also uses the combination of numbers and letters on a sheet of paper repeatedly even thousands of times. Again….it look difficult to repeat and repeat the same character to make a beautiful painting. But this make her art work so special.
She wants to share a secret for us how to make a buildings. Keira prefers to use quotation marks and dashes to make buildings and parentheses for a face. And then the other hands was used to move the paper. Of course, Keira definitely needed a break after drawing more than one hour. I know it must pain for us who don’t get accustomed to use our finger to type and for moving the paper. But she can do this very well.
We can see a lot of painting from her, like: the face images, buildings, forests, plant motifs. The face images of Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Kate Moss even Mr.Obama. For the building she has made Bournemouth Pier which was very spectacular because Keira made this in detail and reportedly it sold 500 £. Recently, she held an exhibition at Grove Studios, Southbourne, Bournemouth. I believe there are many appreciation for her work. And this is totally amazing. But she looks pretty good to make a painting and it shown in the public. She really enjoy with her job. I should give two thumbs up for her. You can see the demonstration below.
I have to update this hub. I got special visit from Keira Rathbone. She give us a special comment. You can find between comments below. I give her my two thumbs up for her kindness to visit this hub. I can't say anything and I happy with this. I hope you all also felt what I am feeling.

Painting With Breast, An Original Ideas
By this hub I want to share something unique about painting style. What kind of media we can use to paint? I believe the answer is brushes or palette. But this person uses unique media. I often heard many times about this quotes “We can success if we make something different, don’t try imitates others, that makes us bigger in our life”. That’s why this woman tried to make differences in her painting style. I know this could be surprising us, especially for men. This woman uses her breast as a tool to make beautiful paintings. Again….breast, there’s a little question in our mind, are you kidding? I am not making a joke, this is true. Is she doesn't has other tool? And the answer is she wants to make a difference. Sometimes people love something weird or unique. They more appreciate with kind of the unique things. -

Another unique and beautiful hub from you, my friend. Kiera Rathborn is a courageous, brave and determined talent. Her gift is herself. What an example of resilience and inner beauty.

How awakening is this hub! Thank you my wonderful friend for once again inspiring me to live my life to the fullest - to appreciate every ache and pain which confirms that my body can move, feel, touch and tingle.

Amazing! Each time I read one of your Fantastic Hubs, I think, "He has topped himself completely."
It is a no-no to use the same words over and over in professional and academic writing, but... Awesome is a word I overuse, and words like fantastic, great, yada yada.
Your works/and Amazing Hubs will make a nice little book imo! Fun, Fun, Fun ... There I go again.
