Traveling Boy\u2019s Brom Wikstrom<\/a> on CBS Sunday Morning<\/h3>\n

\"Brom<\/p>\n

Traveling Boy\u2019s Brom Wikstrom<\/a> received his 15 minutes of fame last Sunday. Of course, we\u2019ve all known that Brom has been famous for years. The world-renowned \u00a0mouth painter appeared on CBS Sunday Morning<\/i> with correspondent Lee Cowan. A diving accident in 1975 left Brom a quadriplegic. During rehabilitation, he learned to use a mouth stick to turn pages when reading. Towards the end of rehabilitation, he started mouth painting; a continuation of his talent and \u00a0passion for the arts. He developed an art program at Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital and began a long association with VSA arts. In 1994, Brom became a full member artist of the International Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists<\/i>. His work has been shown around the globe, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, British Columbia, Austria and Australia. Join us as we celebrate the holiday season and pay homage to Brom on this CBS Sunday Morning\u00a0clip, where he has turned a negative into a positive, helping countless others with disabilities, turning their lives around. On a personal note, I recently purchased a painting from a mouth painter in rural Costa Rica, who was once a student of Mr. Wikstrom.<\/p>\nSEE CBS Sunday Morning clip<\/a><\/span>\n

Cinema is an art form that brings you the unexpected. In superhero movies, nothing is at risk, a director says.<\/p>\n

When I was in England in early October, I\u00a0gave an interview to Empire magazine<\/a>. I was asked a question about Marvel movies. I answered it. I said that I\u2019ve tried to watch a few of them and that they\u2019re not for me, that they seem to me to be closer to theme parks than they are to movies as I\u2019ve known and loved them throughout my life, and that in the end, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re cinema. Some people seem to have seized on the last part of my answer as insulting, or as evidence of hatred for Marvel on my part. If anyone is intent on characterizing my words in that light, there\u2019s nothing I can do to stand in the way.<\/p>\nMORE<\/a><\/span>\n

One Christmas was so much like another,
\nin those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound
\nexcept the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep,
\nthat I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights
\nwhen I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.<\/p>\n

All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea,
\nlike a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street;
\nand they stop at the rim of the ice-edged fish-freezing waves,
\nand I plunge my hands in the snow and bring out whatever I can find.
\nIn goes my hand into that wool-white bell-tongued ball of holidays resting
\nat the rim of the carol-singing sea, and out come Mrs. Prothero and the firemen.<\/p>\n

As a descendant of both Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus, the Amer-Norsk-Italian Boitano quite literally has a passion for travel to unexplored locations in his blood. He has traveled to over 56 nations, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, as well as lived with a nomadic Basque shepherd family outside of Bakersfield, California for six hours. He brings to Traveling Boy a love of all forms of travel, and a disdain for any lamb food products.","url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/ed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14777"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20991,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14777\/revisions\/20991"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
