Create monsters for EA will be an artist with a damaged brain

The company Electronic Arts has hired a designer who worked as a programmer in the “past life” and did not show any creative abilities. But 19 years ago, Ken Walters was in a terrible car accident and became disabled. After spending 15 years in depression, Ken Walters experienced a brain hemorrhage in 2005. After that, he miraculously survived, although some parts of the brain did not succeed.

But the human brain is an amazing thing. Speech and other functions gradually returned to Walters. However, he has new abilities, which were not there before. Since childhood, he hated drawing, and now began to draw on the computer one painting after another. The experience of the programmer even helped him to write special software for creating his paintings.



According to the doctors, when some areas are damaged, the human brain starts the self-healing procedure, duplicating the functionality of the damaged areas with the help of other previously unused areas. New neural connections are formed, and sometimes such phenomena are possible that a person acquires abilities that he did not have before.
