Had a lovely chat with @FatLikeMePod about our favorite fat artists, hopes for future fat stories, and the art equivalent of comfort food.
During the recording I promised a thread of links to my fav sources of fat art. Well, here it is!

Before we get to the good stuff I want to point out that labels, while important, aren't for everyone. Not every artist here uses 'fat' or 'body positive' to describe themselves/their work.
THIS is a list of artists I love who can draw a fat body like nobody's business. ok? ok.

I love everything @wavingpeople creates because it makes you feel like you're being hugged by your favorite person. My source for feel goods, cute fat boyfriends, and good doggos https://twitter.com/wavingpeople/status/1247143465147699200?s=20
Sometimes I feel like swooning over cute art of black girls in love. Sometimes I wanna see fat girls being loved. If you ever feel that way too @Petalromance's gotchu https://twitter.com/Petalromance/status/1256046763120754688?s=20
@KivanBay is known for a lot of things in the fat liberation community, but I will always associate him with 3 things: #AugustAdipose, joyful art of fat people, and Batmandog

Good gay fat art, nerd stuff (and poetry!) @andiescottart's art is the perfect balance of soft and sweet when you're having a tough day https://twitter.com/andiescottart/status/1256067316493824000?s=20
For me, @melvalentinev's art feels like a breath of fresh air. You know, one of those good deep ones that reminds you that you're alive and that maybe that's not such a bad thing https://twitter.com/melvalentinev/status/1257392756709883905?s=20
I believe the words I used on the podcast were "sexy stretchmarks." Sorry, I'm not good with words, but @tianaconyersart is very, very good at art https://twitter.com/tianaconyersart/status/1256314098385551361?s=20
If you told me color existed solely for @gchoule's use I'd believe you, because the way they wield it is godly. They also run @fatbeautyinart, so bam! Two for one inspo https://twitter.com/gchoule/status/1259642404451356673?s=20
@emilymadly is an amazing character designer, master storyteller, and a good bean. They're also the kind of artist who shares resources and brings people together and I'll always be grateful for them. Plus, I mean, look at the art *chef's kiss* https://twitter.com/emilymadly/status/1256306521060700162?s=20
Sometimes you need some retail therapy. Sometimes you want some cute fat merch. Sometimes you find yourself on @negaverse_queer's site debating whether you should buy that pin even though you already own it and already bought one for your best friend https://twitter.com/negaverse_queer/status/1230244651950583814?s=20
@shelbobergen is an amazing illustrator. Just... *sigh* just the most pleasing shapes and colors your eyeballs will ever witness. Can you have a crush on someone's art? Asking for a friend https://twitter.com/shelbobergen/status/1163226922375163904?s=20
Take all of the things you love about anime, add beautiful fat people, mix in some pleasing color palettes, shake well, then follow @munrou_. You're welcome https://twitter.com/munrou_/status/1181621585502965762?s=20
If @JessiEoinArt's art was a person, it'd be the chill friend who gives the best hugs and always knows what to say to make you feel better. https://twitter.com/JessiEoinArt/status/1226636628866871302?s=20
You need something cute? Something fun? Something that'll distract you from writing this thread because you're too busy scrolling through her art and grinning? You need @Boooworth in your life https://twitter.com/Boooworth/status/1082351093294788608?s=20
@ohheydj can draw some cute fat dudes, ok. Anytime I need a double shot of joy in my life, I mosey on over to see what he's up to https://twitter.com/OhHeyDJ/status/1256063052836827142?s=20
Normally I could do this all day, but honestly it's been a rough week and I've got comics I need to draw. Hope you've enjoyed this mini tour of my favorite places to find fat art.
Wishing you all comfort and good art
