Resource Creators with disabilities! Show me what you got!
This July marks 36 years since the inception of the ADA(Americans With Disabilities Act). Disabilities don't give a shit about borders so I wanted to create this post to highlight and appreciate all of our comic creators with disabilities. Just for context: 26% of Americans are currently living with a disability either visible or invisible and I'm sure that number carries internationally. And everybody will experience a disabling at some point in their life(old age skill drop off/Death because isn't death the ultimate disability from a living person's perspective?). So let's take this moment to celebrate and show out!
I'm a high-level quadriplegic BTW(no volitional movement below the shoulders). Accessibility technology is at the point where someone like me can essentially create their own comic from scratch(without AI). Specifically to myself I write, letter and design the entire book including the logo while using this sub Reddit to hire different artists. And damn I have collaborated with some awesome artists that I've met on here.
Feel free to ask me what kind of assistive technology I use. I would like for this to exist as a sort of Resource for creators with disabilities to find the tools to give them more independence when it comes to their creation/storytelling as well.
So let's show off and maybe get some Disabled on Disabled collaborations going ha ha!
