Indian artist A C Gurumurthy has been using a typewriter to create impressive portraits for more than five decades.<br /><br />Gurumurthy uses his typewriter to carefully create pictures of famous politicians and figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Barack Obama, Indira Gandhi.<br /><br />As an avid art lover he shaped his monotonous profession into a creative one carving out the pictures of his favourite politicians and places he loves. <br /><br />Gurumurthy, an ex-bank employee said: "I can type as fast as 95 words per minute, but when it comes to art, it is something else.<br /><br />"Throughout my service in the bank, I have had exhibitions of my art in the city and different places in Maharashtra. I opted for voluntary retirement in 2001 to take it up full time.<br /><br />“I soon want to make my first colour portrait of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi."<br /><br />The artist sketches a faint outline of the portrait before feeding the paper into the typewriter. Light and dark shades are created by applying different amounts of pressure onto a key.<br /><br />This footage was filmed on September 19.
