TELLTALE PRESENTS: Why Don’t I Draw Myself Fat?, a workshop, discussion, and art show as part of the Fat Over Lean art month. 

"When I started drawing myself in comics, I had a sudden realization—I was drawing myself far smaller than I am. And I’ve gotten really obsessed with the idea of why....? Is it just a drawing skill level thing? Is it internalized fatphobia? Is it not enough positive fat representation in comics? I don’t know! In a world where I can draw myself like ANYTHING, why would I still draw myself skinny?"  -Jasmine of Telltale Presents

PART ONE: Join us on Friday, October 16th from 7 - 9 pm at Fans Only Studio for a discussion about creating self-portraits while fat, and then we will each create one together in the room!
Bring:  Whatever art supplies you’d like to use and/or share with folks, and a snack to share.
This activity is FREE to attend and open to 15 participants. Sign up to attend HERE.

PART TWO:  On Saturday, October 24th from 6 - 7:30 pm, we will get back together at Fans Only Studio and tell stories about our experience of creating these pieces—Telltale has a long history of vulnerable storytelling and building community together. We will tell our stories in the gallery in front of our self-portraits, so please invite all your friends! Storytelling is open to 6 participants. Free to attend and open to the public; tips gladly accepted from the audience. Refreshments provided. RSVP Here
