Doug Landis: The Original Missouri Kid

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:01:00 GMT

Doug Landis was injured in a wrestling accident in 1975 when he was just in his teens. Paralyzed from the neck down, his depression seemed insurmountable at times.

But a dare to outdraw his brother, Monte, catapulted Doug out of depression and into a life of purpose. He now holds a pen or pencil in his mouth and creates work with uniqueness and style known for its intricacy. Doug’s wildlife art is internationally known.
