I wanted to do a plus-size pinup in a confident pose but an outfit no more revealing than a bathing suit and somewhere in the coloring process, it became a self-portrait. It’s challenging for me to post this, especially since I know that members of my family may find this post uncomfortable, but I’m very proud of how this piece came out and I want to explain a bit about it.  At the risk of getting a little personal here, I want to explain this transition: I’ve always struggled with my size and my perception of myself, as many girls and women do. It wasn’t until summer last year that I realized how much of my personal identity comes from my size and how I am proud of who I am, even if I would like to get to a healthier weight. It has been a struggle for me, coming to terms with that part of myself, but being able to let go of hating part of who I am has made me so much happier overall and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
