Stay tuned to YouBentMyWookie in the next few days because we have a great feature interview on the way with Mike Drake, The Man behind Michael Lee Ford's new book, "The Isolated Art of Michael Lee Ford."
Michael Lee Ford is currently in a Texas prison serving a 35 year sentence for a 1989 robbery. After hearing of the death of his mother in 1996, Michael was inspired to created a sculpture of Christ. Being in prison with no art supplies he followed the immortal words of Theodore Roosevelt who said "Do what you can where you are with what you have" and developed a method of turning newspaper back into paper pulp and then sculpting with it.
Along with his sculpture, Michael has also created an amazing portfolio of drawings and sketches, many of which are captured in the new book of his Artwork: "The Isolated Art of Michael Lee Ford."
