TCT- Halloween Hotties Round 3

So i have been having a hard time keeping track of all the new stuff I've gotten done in the past few weeks. Some pieces get left in out or forgotten even when I plan on revealing them at certain times. Todays post is like that. I have done a few variations on couple of the better know pieces. Here they are and a little bit more.

Enjoy.

Happy Thick Chick Thursday

TCT- Hail To The Queen Baby

We continue on with the Halloween Hotties series on this the 3rd Thick Chick Thursday of the month. I am really happy with how these came out. Hope you are too.

Go on, show her ya boomstick.

Here is a preview of more the fun i have coming up soon.

Discover Her Curves

So it's Columbus Day here in the US. Its Canadian Thansgiving, sometime this past weekend. I always try to post on holidays so here is one. It's gotten a lot of attention on Facebook so i figured I should share it here and make it official.

We all love Halloween. We all love Elvira. Here is what is hopefully the beginning of a new tradition. All hail the curvy Queen of Screams. The Mistress of the Dark. Elvira.

A shameful man

As you know, from time to time on here i go personal rant about something is affecting me. be it within my family, my personal life or work life. I get what I need to get out of my head and it helps my head get clearer. This is one of those times. It goes a bit too long and kind of loses its focus in places but here is a new rant about the "fat shaming" movement going on in social media. I thought it appropriate that i put my two cents out there since this is a place of plus size positivity.

I feel ashamed. I feel saddened. I feel angry. I feel lost and alone. I am confused and betrayed and hurt. I am not perfect, nor will i ever be. I don't always judge people, but I always feel judged. I feel all these things even more lately, most of which is my own doing. My mind is an overly busy and easily distracted place. I focus on stuff that I like most of the time and ignore r move past negative instances that do not concern me. If there is one major flaw to my character it is that I feel like I am more important than I really am. The world does not revolve around me.

Those last words could be used as a major defense this week too. It has come to my attention that there is a movement on social media and the internet this week called "fat shaming". It was reported started by a blog site that is for "masculine men" and is being used as an excuse to make hateful and hurtful comments and observations about those of bigger size. I am probably safe in thinking that bigger women are feeling the brunt of this attack. For this I am ashamed to be part of a generation of males that feels this okay behavior.

Am I guilty of making fat jokes and inappropriate comments about others based on size, ethnicity and social life? Absolutely. Have I ever gone out of my way to do it as a point of hurting someones feelings? No. have i probably hurt peoples feelings without realizing it? More than likely. Will I do it again? More than likely. Do i find joy in it? Not really. I am sure there are some comments and "jokes" within this movement that I would snicker or laugh at. You have to sometimes just out of absurdity. I like to think of myself as very open minded and welcoming. I am also a strong supporter of the BBW, plus sized, fat community. 

I hate when people just go after the size and physical appearance of someone they don't know just to get a laugh. I am sure there are times this is warranted. I have never been in a fight in my life, either verbal or physical, with a stranger. I can understand that when things get heated between two people that is the easiest way to go. It makes a point and makes it clear. Yelling "You dumb fat asshole" really makes it clear, you don't like the other person. To go after someone for size alone for no reason is just sad.

I am not a small guy. Lately I have been fighting with some pain and depression of my own and been turning to food as I am wont to do. Comfort foods are far too common in my house and it sucks. Do i need to work on that? Absolutely. Have I been getting criticism about it? No. However I cannot help but feel like I am being judged and looked at funny when out in public. Do i like frozen pizza too much? Yes. is that the reason for my belly starting to get soft and jiggling around a bit too much. Yeah. Sometimes it just takes a little time for people to realize their faults and work on them.

These people doing the fat shaming are awful. I cannot imagine being in a group or around such people and feeling good about it afterwards. I don't expect everyone to get along. It is never like that in the world. It has never been like that. For most of my early years I was the target for ridicule and name calling because of my size growing up. I got called fat and told i needed a bra a few times. It hurt and i usually lashed out in anger when these things happened. I have since learned to control that, punching walls enough times helped that. I also learned to surround myself with friendly supportive people. Almost 7 years now I attended my first BBW dance and after going a few times I began to really feel comfortable there. Even there though, discrimination and hate and anger are present so there is no way to get rid of it. People are animals and will respond to others as they see fit. I also know that the world is not like it was when growing up. It took me nearly 23 years to find people that I really feel comfortable with and can relax and be myself with. That's a long ass time. I feel bad that there may be a whole generation that wont find that. Things are getting lame out there.

The term "pussification of America" is used a lot lately too. Most of the time I agree with it. Taking games and activities away from kids to make it more inclusive for everyone is not the way to go. I understand that being bullied and made fun of can also have positive outcomes as well. This "fat shaming" is the extreme of that. I understand it, I guess, I couldn't read too many of the quotes cause it just made me sad. 

I thought I could stay on target with this but like all rants I go on it tends to ramble a bit and get muddied in meaning. There are only say many ways to say that i don't agree with what this group is doing. I am pretty sure that I got that point across. I am a man and I do not feel the way these men do. The terms "fat" and "ugly" are all subjective. Highly subjective. There are many women out there that I would not be attracted to whether they were skinny or fat. I get the "Hey, how bout her?" question when out with people all the time every time there is a girl with extra weight on her. Most of the time it is a yes. However, just because she is a bigger woman does not make her attractive. The same goes for these guys that are out there shaming. What if every fat women and chubby girl were to lose weight and become your ideal woman? Would that automatically make her attractive to you? What about the flip side to that? She could lose the weight, still be gorgeous and turn you don. Would you just go with the ugly insult then? I cannot begin to guess cause their ignorance in their comments has already made me turn them off.

The internet has turned us all far too negative. I try to read comments and posts about subjects that I like, but they all turn to hating on them and it turns me off. You cannot please everyone I know that, but man there are some bad apples out there. It get s dark so fast. If there are enough people out there to make this fat shaming a trending topic on twitter that is sad. It just sucks that most of those that are targeted will not be able to speak up or have the courage too cause the haters just pile one. I wish there were something more I could do to help with the positive side of it than just write up this rambling mess. I don't take sides often. i stay out of trouble as best I can. On this matter I cannot be quiet though.

So here on my little spot on this giant mess we call the internet I am here to say that I am adiopositive and a supporter of those being hurt and hated upon. I am sorry for any pain you are having over this and wish you all the best. 

To the haters and those spreading anger and hurtful messages, say whatever you want, do whatever you want but expect people to change because of it. The word does not revolve around you and not everyone you meet or see in life is here to please you. 

Also, Fuck You.

Thick Chick Thursday - Haunting Hour Draws Near Edition

I am feeling better. Just wanted to get that out there. A little less stressed and worried, a little healthier physically. On the road to recovery and hopefully improvement soon.

As far as the art side of things goes?? I have been very very busy with. Like always the Halloween season brings out new ideas for me and constantly thinking of things that may or may not get done. So to celebrate the haunting season I am hoping to get some solid posts in the coming weeks.

Here is this weeks TCT treats.

A couple "Ghostbuster" girls.

Happy couple.

T-t-t-trick or treat.

Nobody has more fun on Halloween than the villains.

TCT - Ghoulish Glamor Edition

It's that time of year again. Time for all you ghosts and goblins, ghouls and ghoulies, monsters and mistresses of the dark to start roaming the streets and scaring up good fun. I will say that I didn't always really dig on Halloween that much until I started this page. I've drawn more horror and terror themed pieces now than I did when i was a kid. I have always loved monsters though. Wether they scared the shit out of me or not. Got to respect the monster makers.

I have begun my own little collect of monstrous creatures and beauties on this page. Today i am featuring the lovely ladies from the page banner that got a little work done to add some scares to the blog.
I have quite a few more to show off as well in the coming weeks.

Happy Thick Chick Thursday kiddies.

The Boys Are Back!!!!

I'm feeling better. It's been a rough few weeks. Lots of gross feelings both mentally and physically, I have been struggling with life and work issues as well as dealing with some nasty sicknesses and ailments. Hoping that gets resolved soon. As I do with the life and work. That is more my problem than yours. Just wanted to let you all know, I am alive and kicking.



Guess who else is back and feeling good? The Boston Bruins!! That's right, Its Hockey season again. Woooo!! Seems like just yesterday we were licking our wounds after a hard loss to the Blackhawks in the finals. It's not often that we get two season premieres in the same year. This year we do. I for one am very glad that the whole of the NHL is back.
Now.

Drop. That. puck,
