  • The Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists of the World was founded in Liechtenstein in 1956. It is a commercial conglomorate of publishing houses that employs artists, who, for reasons of illness, accident or congenital disability have no use of their hands, and who use either their mouth or feet to create their work. Prominent members include Alison Lapper and Simona Atzori. The main product of the company is Christmas cards with motifs painted by the member artists. These cards are sold every year in the months leading up to Christmas via direct mailing in 46 countries around the world (2004). Other products available through AMFPA include postcards, art prints and calendars. The parent company in Liechtenstein acquires the reproduction rights of a given artwork and distributes it internationally. The original works are also sold at exhibitions held throughout the world. The AMFPA represents 650 mouth and foot painting artists in 60 countries around the world. They receive grants or are taken on as members and receive a regular income for their artistic proficiency. Works produced by the members can be seen in the UN Headquarters in Geneva or the European Council in Strassburg.

  • 口足畫家，是指使用口咬畫筆，或是腳拿畫筆方式創作的畫家。創作的範圍和一般職業畫家沒有什麼不同，但創作的歷史卻都布滿學習的辛酸。多數口足畫家都是因意外或生病失去了雙手，或雙腳，或雙手雙腳。並在困頓沮喪中找到了以繪畫為職業和重振信心的選擇。 口足畫家有自己的組織和協會，其中最大的是在1956年成立的國際口足畫藝協會AMFPA（Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists）。一開始主要是由瑞士和德國的口足畫家們組成，目前成員則遍及全球。
