The Heart Behind the Art

 At Little Dinos, everything we create is rooted in love for our community and for the disabled children who inspired this project from the start.


As the artist behind these pieces, I started painting disabled dinosaurs for my nephew, Lucas. He loves dinos and wears AFOs, and I wanted him to see characters who move through the world like he does. As a disabled artist, I know how meaningful it is to feel genuinely reflected in the art around you. 


Seeing Lucas light up when he spots a dino that looks like him keeps us going. That feeling of connection, of being truly seen, is something every disabled kid deserves.


Disability representation that’s honest, playful, and empowering can still be hard to find. So we’re making it, one painting at a time!

Timeline & Health Transparency

As a disabled artist, my health sometimes impacts my work pace. I do my best to keep timelines reasonable, but flexibility and understanding are appreciated. Custom pieces generally take 2 to 5 weeks, but if you have a specific deadline, please include that in your request so I can try to accommodate it.
