Kam who is a designer and illustrator on wheels and her husband, a concept artist for the video game industry, created an Instagram profile where they share adorable illustrations of people with disabilities.
“My husband and I thought it would be fun to draw chibi-inspired portrayals of the disabled community WE know; fun-loving big dreamers who live life to the fullest, whether that’s through sports, skydiving, skateboarding, traveling, rock climbing, race car driving, surfing or spirited wheelies living out their dreams,” Kam shared with Bored Panda.
With their project called Chair Devils, the duo wants to increase the awareness that being disabled is ‘normal,’ even though it can’t be found in the media or culture.
“Chair or not, I believe in
living life to the fullest! I travel, have skydived, parasailed, skied and
scuba dove the Great Barrier Reef. Disability does not mean void of capability,
I’m just different and different is good. A chair doesn’t mean we can’t and
don’t live it up. We are every bit as “normal” as the “able” bodied world. We
dream big and we live big.”
