barrelfish asked: Hi! I love your print of all the ladies being "alluring" etc etc but I was wondering if you had plans to do something similar but with women of colour as well? Because that would be gorgeous.
I’ve explained before that all the girls are light skinned in that drawing because it was for a photocopied zine where I was reduced to black and white. I actually get a lot of hate comments about what I chose to draw, but I was never claiming that those four cartoons accurately represented ALL body types, or all kinds of people. It was just a cartoon used to promote body awareness.
That being said, I’ve also talked about doing a series of body types (because there are far more than the ones I used, I just picked the four most common) that would include other races, genders, etc. But at the same time, I feel the only thing that would come out of it would be lots more people sending me even MORE hate mail because I missed something they wanted to see represented. So yes, it’s on the burner for future projects, but the backlash on such a simple cartoon that was only drawn to say “hey, here are some body types” wore me out a little so I’ll probably wait a little before I revisit the idea.
