Coastal Florida Artist Christopher J Kuster
By darren | April 26, 2008
Today my children and I went down to the Sponge Docks of Tarpon Springs. We were originally supposed to visit St.Augustine this weekend but the children’s mother, Rebecca wasn’t up to it. She is dealing with bronchitis right now. So, daddy promised the kids we would do something fun despite our change in plans. They told me they wanted to go to the Sponge Docks and visit the Tarpon Springs Aquarium.
So after running an errand or two this morning we headed to the Sponge Docks. We visited the aquarium, where the staff are always friendly and willing to share their knowledge of the fish and animals they keep. We then walked around the docks and came upon Christopher J. Kuster, Artist. There were two ladies talking to Christopher and looking over this work. He had some gorgeous lighthouse and other nautical themed prints that just jumped at me. So I started looking through his prints and I immediately laid my hands on two lighthouse prints and was looking for more when I was promptly told “Ummm those are my prints” as one of the ladies had already agreed to purchase them. Seems she is one of Christophers regular clients and she was meeting him here on the docks to get his latest work.
Although I was a fairly good pencil sketch artist during childhood, I never kept it up and am not sure I have what it takes to draw a circle now, never mind paint a beautiful scene like Christopher. What makes this all even more remarkable is that Christopher paints using his teeth and his website is calledhttp://www.paintbyteeth.com.. Now I don’t proclaim to be one of Christopher’s friends as I have only run into him a time or two. There are just times when you feel the need to tell everyone you know about something and this is one of those times. Christopher J. Kuster is an amazing artist and I hope everyone I knows drops by his website to view his work and purchase a piece or two should they like it.
The man is an inspiration for all of us.
