My Sister Used Her Chronic Migraines As Inspiration To Make Illustrative Pins For The Chronically Ill

ADVERTISEMENT

Abi Stevens, an illustrator, based in Cambridge, UK, is expanding her range of pins for the chronically ill. The first pin designs were inspired by her own experience of chronic migraines and a desire to help others experiencing chronic illness feel heard. Now, she is hoping to fund a new range of pins to help more chronic illness sufferers.

Her artwork is full of color and joy, and the pins reflect this. In the future, she hopes to expand her range to include a broader range of chronic illnesses and neurodivergences.

If you want a personalized illustration for your illness, she is also taking commissions for them!

She hopes to fund the creation of these pins through a Kickstarter campaign. If you have a chronic illness or know anyone who does, please consider supporting or sharing the campaign.

To support the campaign, visit her Kickstarter linked below.

The first of the new designs for Abi Steven’s latest project is a pin for the Spoonie Sisterhood. The pin was inspired by her close bond with her sister, who is also chronically ill. Together, they help support each other through the trials and tribulations of being chronically ill
