Here we realize that the messages that are being sent every day create a whole lot of Size Issues. And other issues. Editorials, articles, commercials and even our own communities tell us things about acceptable body diversity every day. We like to celebrate when these things are broken down, and the way we can celebrate ourselves.
And of course, people are welcome to submit!
THUNDERTHIGHS
Now that we’ve demonstrated that I am wildly liberal and politically angry, back to our regularly scheduled artwork. Thank you for bearing the brunt of my art block.
This is an amalgamation of two things: my need to see body diversity in art, and my recently discovered love for poster making. I never understood why ‘thunder thighs’ was an insult. It sounds powerful to me. Reminiscent of an almighty, unstoppable ruckus in the clouds, a veritable fucking rock show of giants, Bikini Kill on amps the size of mountains.
Thunder thighs, huh? I can dig it.
I love this! Thunder thighs really is the weirdest approximation of an insult/self-depreciation even though I kind of mindlessly accepted that it was supposed to be one when I was younger. It sounds badass!

Curvy Pin-Up illustrations for Jen Oaks 2012 calendar titled “Cheeky” which you can purchase at her Etsy store. She also has a tumblr.
I love these! I quite like that there’s also a bit of body diversity, even though it’s overall stylized - some of them are bigger or smaller on top, have smaller or bigger tummies, bigger butts, etc, of course there’s some ethnic variety, and there’s even a range of activity and skin showing.
I love this art!

VOILA
Thanks everyone for your photos, I’m going to have enough for weeks! I may not be able to draw everyone, I don’t want to disappoint anyone but I’ve got to be honest because it might happen :P
Excuse me, y’all, while I simultaneously strut around and pick myself up off the floor.
How cool is this?!
I want to watch this cartoon so bad
