A legally blind cartoonist born in Timaru, raised in Canterbury, and resettled in Dunedin is taking his skills from the streets to the workshop floor.
Brent Harpur might not be able to capture the finer details of physical appearance available to someone with perfect vision, but is able to commit to paper his subjects' foibles and personality traits.
Mr Harpur's vision has detoriated to the point where he is totally blind in his right eye, with limited vision in his left.
However, that has not affected his career as a street cartoonist, or prevented him from working his way around the world.
Mr Harpur will be sharing his skills with children at two workshops in North East Valley during the school holidays.
