25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do: Make Art of Themselves

"25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do is an unabashed middle finger to the preposterous idea that any human who weighs more than the status quo does not deserve to live a full and well rounded (ahem) life. The list of 25 is composed word for word from direct lists of sheer assholery found on the internet. These range from the absurd to the profoundly shameful, and I will be disproving this offensive notion with style. Feel free to join in on the fun, and if you do, link at the bottom so I can share. May the Chub Club live long and prosper!"  ~Jes of The Militant Baker.  Naturally, being of a curious and strong-willed nature, I decided to Strut My Walk like only I can!

Simple, straight and with a smile. That is my approach I aim at when ever I have to voice my thoughts.  So, for this task I simply chose a sketch I did of myself back in July, 2009.  A sketch that symbolizes a very crucial turning point in my life.  A time when a glimpse of who I really am revealed itself to me.  I took back control of my life.  One of my greatest accomplishments ever, aside from giving birth to my three precious treasures.  No one will ever tell me again what I can or cannot do, much less tell me I should not make art of myself!  I am an artist. An artist of my own life!  Brush-ready to paint with color each day that I am blessed with no matter how dark it may seem!
