Josh Sundquist lost his leg in a battle with childhood cancer. Now, he’s become an inspiration with his Halloween costumes. Despite his limitations, he’s clearly far more creative than anybody else. He reminds us of the real-life merman Blix and awesome makeup artist Richard Schaeffer — he won’t let anyone tell him his dreams can’t be real. According to Mashable, Sundquist is now a Paralympian and motivational speaker. He’s been putting together highly creative costumes since 2010. It does inspire a lot of hope. His costumes have included: a gingerbread man, the leg lamp from A Christmas Story, a flamingo, a foosball player, an iHop sign, and, for 2016, he’s Lumiere of Beauty and the Beast fame. I don’t think I’ve come remotely close in terms of creativity. Sundquist included the following video to explain his costume:

Sundquist breaks down how he and his talented assistant DIY-ed the costume. It takes a lot of newspaper, modeling clay, and metallic fabric. It probably also takes some patience and additional resources. What do you think? Do you want to see more from Josh? Let us know in the comments or @WhatsTrending on Twitter. Also follow us on Medium.
