Truth Tellers #5 Nelson Mandela

Truth Teller #5 Nelson Mandela. First democratically elected President of South Africa. After spending almost three decades in jail for his anti-apartheid activities, Mandela emerged from prison without anger or bitterness to negotiate an end to the racially segregated regime. The example of grace he set made him beloved the World over.

Truth Tellers #6, Abraham Lincoln

Truth Teller #6 Abe Lincoln, an eloquent speaker who could go from the folksiest banter to the heights of oratory. The man that held the United States together through the toughest times since the Revolution, despite serious depression and who ultimately paid for his success with his life.”Honest Abe” is seen by many as our greatest President.

Truth Teller #7 Edmund Burke

Truth Teller #7 Edmund Burke. I will throw conservatives a bone here by quoting the father of modern conservatism. I think his observation that government is a pact between the dead, the living and the yet born is majestic, concise and true today as it was when he wrote the words in the late 1700s. But now that we have the power to wipe humanity off the planet, I believe the meaning of that truth has changed.

The Daily Cartoonist: Drawing on through Parkinson's

 Here is a link to a story about my struggle to draw with Parkinson's Disease. the story is from "The Daily Cartoonist" a Web journal concerning the world of professional cartooning. It was occasioned by the release of the documentary "Matters of Mind, My Parkinson's" which follows three families and their efforts to cope with PD. The show is part of the PBS Independent Lens series, and will be broadcast nation-wide this coming Monday, April 8th. You can find  the broadcast time in your area by checking the listing in your local PBS station's Web site. You should also be able to stream the film at your leisure following the broadcast through the PBS app which you can download here.

 

PBS Looks At PD And P D-S

Here is a short trailer for the PBS documentary "Matter of Mind, My Parkinson's. It follows the attempts of three people and their families to cope with the progressive, disabling and incurable neurological condition. The film won the Audience Choice Award for documentaries at the recent San Francisco Film Festival, possibly due to a scenery-chewing performance by yours truly in the role of "Guy From Up In Alaska Somewhere Who Has Parkinson's." Or possibly because it is a well-made true tale of hope sort of triumphing over long odds. You can decide for yourself on April 8th, when it will be broadcast nation-wide on the PBS Independent Lens series. #ParkinsonsDisease #Documentary #StructureFilms. #hope #DBSSurgery
