I will have these for sale in the Dealer’s Room at WisCon this weekend, as well as the other items in my online store!

(And I’m also taking slogan suggestions for the next series. I have a few ideas already, but it’d be awesome to hear from others, too!)

Comics and the Human Body: April 28th in Dearborn

fatpeopleart:

FPA Moderators Megan Rose Gedris and Alex Heberling will be at Penguicon in Dearborn, Michigan on Saturday, April 28th, giving a talk called “Comics and the Human Body.” Comics are notorious for some pretty atrocious art when it comes to body types, but that’s just the surface, and there’s a wide range of creators drawing a wide range of body types. Come hear us talk about the very very good and the very very bad when it comes to bodies in comics. We’ll also be doing some quick tutorials on some different body types.

And please reblog this with good examples (both really good and really bad) that you think we should discuss!

If there’s interest, I’ll get into my skivvies for a real life fleshy fat demonstration!

hate your body? reverse brainwash yourself with tumblr

spam your dashboard with pictures of people that look like you. track tags for what you’re struggling with: “fat acceptance”, “natural hair”, “freckles”, “transgender”, “body hair”, etc. follow people who post about your specific concerns. make your own FUCKYEAH tumblr.

even if it’s uncomfortable at first, the more exposure you have to it, the less insecure you’ll be about it. eventually you will OWN it & start living in a happy self-love bubble. then, when confronted with backwards ignorant bullshit from other people, you’ll be laughing in their faces, not crying at home.

this might be old news to some, but i know a lot more people that could benefit from this. i think of tumblr as a customized magazine full of shit you’re selling to yourself – just make sure you’ve got the right message.
