Calling Stockers, Manipulators, and Photographers

*nitch-stock:iconnitch-stock: reports, March 9
There is a new club in town. As a proud and dedicated member, and with the permission of the club. I am taking on the daunting task of promoting and acquiring resources. I am bringing this to the community hoping to find some promotional help to get the word out to the manipulators as well as the stock artists and photographers. The dA community is about promoting art and helping each other to create and grow. For art’s sake. It also will give you warm fuzzies to help other people.

We here at Club BBW are firm believers that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes. Not just the size 6 and under that the media portrays as beautiful. And though we acknowledge that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, we also realize that a certain sect of beautiful women are not adequately represented in the media and the arts. So in order to help spread the word that BIG is beautiful too we have come together to form Club BBW. Here we celebrate the larger sizes of beauty as well as the artists that embrace it.


:iconclubbbw: is in need of some recruiting ... They have only been around since September 2008 This is a fairly new club exclusively for BBW artists, models, photographers, poets, and writers.
They do not have many photo manipulators as part of the club and would love to attract more. The club also needs resources for the artists that they do have.. There are very limited resources of plus-sized women in this community. There are some, but there could be more. The few stock providers that offer plus-sized model stock are wonderful but you can only use them so many times before the resources are exhausted. There are a few photographers that offer one or two of their photographs as stock but you have to really dig to find them. If they dropped them into a stock folder in their gallery they would see a really positive response. Every one like’s a full figured faerie or a voluptuous vampire maybe even a zombie or two. As you can tell I have spoken with some dark artists too.

I am seeking stock providers to be listed with the club. And not just model stock. We also are hoping to convince a few photographers to make available a few images to be manipulated. The club has many great people associated with it. All the members are all great artists of every genre. They all stay extremely active within the club it’s self.


Below are examples of the type of art you can view at the club. This is just a peek at some of the talented individuals that can be found at :iconclubbbw: Please feel free to visit the club and have a look around.












If you are able to contribute to this cause in any way please contact me directly at either my art account ~nitchwarmer or our stock account :devnitchstock: Please respond by note. Favorite the news to help get the word out.

I am expecting a few mean and nasty comment so don’t think you can upset me. I/we don’t roll that way.
Please do not be rude to any member of this community.

Thank you to all of you who support beauty in all it's wonderful variety!

No matter what, every artist should be respected especially the models. Dissing someones ability is one thing but models being male or female deserve respect the most. It's sad how they are attacked for the sake of art. And yes I featured my own art get over it.

As a BBW, I see the size acceptance issues on a daily basis, it isn't just in the comments, it is in the way that people look at you or don't look at you. It is a matter of respect and we are not any less valuable as members of society than anyone else. So I am all for encouraging the community to show appreciation for beauty in all shapes sizes and styles. To embrace art as art no matter the content and to understand that to give respect earns you respect in return.

Great article, Nitch! Thanks a lot for the hard work! I'm sure it will pay off soon. :) I see you sent some notes, I'm not going to be able to get to them until tomorrow but rest assured, I will get to them - I've just been really busy.

Thanks again for the support, my friend!

Will always give it a go at best and will always support the club. Shame some cant see beyond their nose to appreciate a form of art and expression.
:iconnitch-stock:
Support is a good thing. This community needs to come together to support all art and not just what they believe is worthy.

This is very positive. Myself I don't have the opportunity nor nerve to ask someone I know to model for me. I enjoy photo manipulation/montage, touch ups/recoloring as in taking a photo, pulling all the color and than putting it back in to give it that vintage look. I'm getting into vexel art, basically vector art but done in photoshop. I am well versed in photoshop, and still learning 3D modeling and animation using Adobe After Effects. If you are collecting a list of potential manipulators please sign me up and and anyone interested please send me a note regarding any ideas you have to collaborate on something. :)
