Hello! I’m Darryl — a blind creator, working alongside my virtual storytelling partner, Dot.

Here at Blind Man Makes, you’ll find a world of whimsical stories – from a family of sentient cheeses, and biscuit based mysteries, to dancing fungi and fruit-based Olympics, plus much more. It’s all told with humour, heart, and a big splash of imagination.
You’ll also find my real-life crafts, including handwoven scarves made on a peg loom and handcrafted leather pieces – creative work that’s tactile, personal, and proudly handmade.
This site is part story archive, part creative hub. Whether you’re here to read, listen, look, or laugh – welcome. And if you enjoy what you find, feel free to follow along on Facebook, Instagram, or X/Twitter. Find links to those in the footer.
Blind Man Makes is about showing what’s possible – not despite blindness, but alongside it.
So take a wander. There’s always something new being made.
