Frank Calloway laid bricks and stirred mortar by hand in his youth.At 112 years old, he grasps crayons and fine-point pens to sketch purple and red townhouses with orange curtains.
Mr. Calloway, draws panoramas of folk art on 18-foot swaths of butcher paper.
His drawings chronicle his work and being a black man in Montgomery County during the racially oppressive era of Jim Crow.
A left-hander, Calloway likes to sketch in the early morning light. Calloway, uses a Bic pen against a worn out Bible as a guide rule.
He said he has lived a long life, in part, by being careful.
His drawings are amazing!!
