Hello everyone in the CC headquarters!
I'm thinking about creating a disability art challenge (like inktober, mermay, etc) where every day of July would have a prompt such as "developmental disability", "personality", "mobility aids", "caregiver" and so on!
(Lemme know if this already exists)
What do y'all think about that? Should I do it? If so, could I tag the blog and say you really inspired me to do that?
My main goal with this is for people to show their disabled characters and stories, and highlight those that don't usually get brought up that much, and that disabilities occur in all sorts of ways. Like my character Hector that was born Deaf because his mom had rubella and his girlfriend with Usher syndrome will have different experiences. And same for character with schizoaffective disorder than someone with brief psychitic disorder and all that.
I'm not familiar with anything like that already existing and it sounds great ! Feel free to tag us of course we'll try to share it :-)
My only advice would be to make sure you're getting the prompts from all sides of the disability spectrum (from invisible low/no-support to very visible very high-needs) since when making lists like that it can be easy to just go all in one direction by accident. Buy it sounds like you're already well aware of how vast The Spectrum is !
I'd also release the prompt list early since a lot of disabled artists can't draw that fast / that frequently.
Good luck! Sounds fun :-)
