  1. This is the best thing I've seen all week! What a great idea!

  2. Totally awesome work and a wonderful blessing for all!!! You have magnified the originals with love!!!

  3. This has been done the UK for decades though?

  4. Starry night by Vincent Van Gogh is a perfect painting for this treatment. I saw the original in a museum and as you walk by it the light travels around the swirling ridges of paint.

  5. ai can do this in half the time

  6. That is a beautiful wonderful idea! I hope he's able to do more artwork and let those who are blind experience the beauty they could never see before!

  7. Thank you NBC Nightly News for sharing about our work with Tomas Bustos!

  8. 🖼 ~ Booo, we don’t like the word “Inclusive“. That scares those on the right wing. Lol.

    I mean, I am serious but there is some truth to how many people are trying to make things so inclusive to minority groups to the extreme. So pandering or doing it to the extreme is ridiculous. But so many people now view any attempt at inclusivity as bad. And I don’t agree that it’s bad.

  9. That's amazing! Such a thoughtful generous couple. A great story we all needed to hear today, thank you.

  10. the coarseness of the textiles to be smooth or more coarse to feel the lighter shades of color, textures to represent what that it depicts.

  11. This is so wonderful!! What a wonderful idea and gift to the visually impaired!

  12. Millions of kudos to Tom Busto for this innovation to help blind people experience art.

  13. ✌Те люди не дикари, те, кто годами угнетал их и покончил с их жизнью, чтобы завоевать их земли, те, кто пытался изгнать невинных людей, диких из своей страны, те, кто положил конец жизни своих детей, чтобы беспокоить их, те, кто держал некоторых из них в плену в течение многих лет, не давая этим людям даже свободы электричества и воды на их собственных землях, и держали их на небольшой территории с проволочными заборами.вы те с плохой кровью, которые защищают эти пытки, дикари.
