Pete's PWP Portraits: An Off and On series

Salvador Dali, Surrealist painter. This is the first in a series of drawings of famous people with Parkinson's Disease. These will appear from time to time as the mood strikes. Why start with Dali? Because he's fun to draw!

Blog Blurb

The Knight Digital Media Center, judges of the Alaska Press Club's annual journalism awards selected The Alaska Parkinson's Rag for second place in the "Best Blog" category for 2008. Here is an excerpt of their comments:

"...Alaska Parkinson's Rag is many things: a community resource, a humor column, a science and medicine explainer. But it's also something that few blogs ever manage to be: addictive and gripping. Everything seems to work just right on this blog, and it is a powerful testament to what a person can achieve in this medium. "
