John Callahan

John Callahans teckningar ställs nu ut på American Visionary Art Museum i Baltimore. Bägge teckningarna här ingår, men själv finner jag hans egen hemsidas avdelning med arga klagomål intressantast. Klicka här och se teckningarna som får läsarna att gå i taket.

Teckningen nedan fick följande reaktion:


"I am currently a guest at a htel in Boston, where these is a card store in the lobby. I noticed a highly distasteful and absolutely DISGRACEFUL postcard on the shelf. it was a John Callaham card that showed a group of cowboys in the dirt, with an empty wheelchair. The caption read "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot".

My Brother sits in a wheelchair, a quadrapalegic , as a result of a diving accident at 19. Until Mr. Callahan can understand the emotions behind such a life of struggle, I feel he should not fell to freely about poking fun at the disabled. I find your marketing of his insensitivity positively DISGUSTING!" signerat Alison F i Boston.


Jahn Callahan blev rullstolsburen i en bilolycka vid 21 års ålder. Han avled i juli 2010. Mer om John i wiki.
