It's not terribly unusual to possess more than one artistic talent — even to employ both simultaneously. (Start listing your favorite guitar-playing singers, and the fact becomes obvious.)
Joe Everson has the same gift — but the pair of talents he combines is rather unique.
He sings and paints simultaneously.
Everson demonstrated his unusual skill before a Toledo Walleye hockey game over the weekend by completing a painted image as he sang the national anthem.

What exactly Everson was creating on canvas wasn't obvious as he made his way through "The Star-Spangled Banner."

But after he sang "o'er the land of the free," Everson turned the painting — which had actually been upside-down the entire time — right-side up.
With that he gave one last broad stroke to create the red and white stripes of the American flag which sat atop a depiction of the the iconic Iwo Jima photo from World War II.

And the crowd went wild.

A pretty striking contrast to athletes — and now even some national anthem performers — who kneel in protest during "The Star-Spangled Banner."
