anyway yesterday FIE posted my art on their page (!!!!) and some lithuanian fencers saw my stories about it (and also a bunch of foreign fencers followed me) and i’m thinking it would be cool if i would become known in the lithuanian fencing community as the ✨ artist ✨

Shahn was a painter and artist as well as a photographer who worked part-time for the FSA’s photography department. His interest in art led him to work with different kinds of cameras, some which allowed him to photograph subjects without them knowing they were being photographed, writes the International Center of Photography. But some of his most famous work was a series of 23 paintings done about the trial of Italian anarchists Sacco & Vanzetti, a case which “disturbed me very much,” he once said.
