Don’t change the way I look at the world.
Change the way the world looks at me.
SuperBrady InspirART is meant to INSPIRE young people to see the abilities in themselves and in others, ENCOURAGE inclusive play and acceptance, and SPARK creative thought through our adventure themes.
Brady & Alexx McCarthy are siblings and business partners. SuperBrady, a 23-year-old young man with Down syndrome, is an artist, author, entrepreneur, and advocate with his motto “Believe You Can!” His sister, Alexx, a 21-year-old, college Senior at Wellesley College is a Cinema & Media Studies major. Their partnership started when they wrote their first book together about the importance of inclusion, and has grown into their own online SuperBradyShop where they feature Brady’s artwork on fun children’s products and room decor.
“Let’s Adventure Together” – SuperBrady InspirArt
by Brady & Alexx
Brady & Alexx, have opened up an online shop to share Brady’s artistic talent and messages of inclusion. Brady hand-draws all the artwork and Alexx uploads his artwork and designs them into fun children’s products and room decor available in their SuperBradyShop. They hope Brady’s artwork can inspire children and adults to recognize that everyone has special abilities and that no one should be labeled or discounted.
SuperBrady InspirART is based on Brady’s own imaginative adventures. Each Adventure Theme hopes to SPARK creative thought through inspiring children to see how they see themselves in that adventure.

Let’s Read Together!” – SuperBrady Book Series
by Brady & Alexx
Brady & Alexx, have written a series of SuperBrady children’s books. The first one, “SuperBrady: A Story of Inclusion,” is about Brady’s life growing up with Down syndrome and how important inclusion was for him. Their second book, “In Common,” teaches the lesson that though it’s easy to see how someone is different than you, it’s more fun to take the time to discover what you might have in common with them. Both books are available for purchase on Amazon to share with your children and their classmates: SuperBrady: A Story of Inclusion and In Common.
“Let’s Advocate Together!”
SuperBrady in Schools

SuperBrady Collaboration with NDSS
“Believe You Can!” is SuperBrady’s motto and he’s proud to have created a special t-shirt design for the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) that combines that motto with his hand-drawn Box Turtle! Brady’s hand-drawn turtle represents the spirit that Brady exhibits, and that NDSS encourages, to believe in yourself and not to let others discourage you from accomplishing your goals and following your dreams. Just like the belief the tortoise had that helped him win the race against the hare in Aesop’s fable, Brady hopes to inspire others to “Believe You Can!” with his t-shirt.
The SuperBradyShop will be donating 10% of the sale price of each SuperBrady InspirART “Believe You Can!” T-shirt to NDSS. BUY SHIRT
