In society today, there exist a pervasive myth that some people are born with style— when in reality, it’s learned! Unfortunately, lots of fat women grew up thinking that style is something for thin women only, and never spent time developing their style muscles. This is a zine for them!
Featuring 36 pages of content, this zine showcases the styles of four fictional women, and as well as some guidelines for developing your own personal style. Check out a preview spread here!
Because I’m currently only selling it as a PDF, I have set the price at $5. If you can’t afford to pay that, or don’t have a way of paying online, please shoot me an e-mail at aefleck@gmail.com, and I will send you a copy. The money goes towards allowing me to create more things like this, so please pay if you can! And hey— if you’ve got the cash and are into this idea, perhaps pay a few extra dollars? Every cent helps a fat working lady illustrator!
It’s done!! DAMN GIRL THAT STYLE IS FAT! is a zine, written and illustrated and design by me, and YOU CAN BUY IT FOR $5 HERE!
NOTE: When this zine becomes available in print, IF YOU BOUGHT IT ONLINE FIRST, $5 will be deducted from the print price! There’s not a date set yet for print copies, as I have no idea how I’m going to print it yet (it’s so long!!), but I do plan on doing a print run.
I dream about this sort of dye job.
I feel like maybe I need to find someone to give me a weave. I would dye the hair myself.

(even if I did look mega grumpy half the time!)
Thanks for being lovely to me, tumblr-peeps. I think you’re awesome. xx
Look at all this fabulousness.

don’t mind me, just bein’ adorable.
I finally found a jean jacket that fit me for four dollazzz. Now, the search for the most girly pins/patches is on, ok.
Oh my gawd… You’re perfect
So I need to be more proactive about saving up my bones for international-wedding-related-things (not to mention pesky visa application fees and everything else leering at me and my feeble bank account).
I could start whoring myself around the freelance design world again, or I could just whore out the things I’m selling on Etsy. So check it.

I’ll be adding more things soon. Maybe some prints, stationary, more pendant designs, accessories, cameras…whatever strikes my fancy.
I saw this stylish squad of ladies walking around Baltimore the other weekend—they were too cool not to draw! - kalidraws
