“I’ve gotten messages from a lot of people who follow my work letting me know they’d never seen art of a woman who was fat and happy. Or that the way I draw my ladies, fashionable and fearless as they are, has given them the confidence to dress how they’ve always wanted instead of how they thought they were supposed to. I’m pleased as punch every time I know there’s another fellow fat out there who is on the path to being unapologetic and taking back their life from society and it’s expectations.” » Jiji Knight
