Hi. I'm Nick. Also known as LimeGreenSquid, or LimeGreenPickle. I was born April 1st, 1980, and raised in BC, Canada for 23 years, and then moved to St.John's, Newfoundland in 2003 to be with my love (we met online).
My goal in my art is to normalize the idea that fat girls, plump women, chubby chicks, Big Beautiful Woman are indeed Beautiful, and Sexy, and deserve to be the object of desire as much as un-chubby girls. To throw down the evil ideas that only anorexic, sickly stick-women are the absolute concept of "beauty" in society, and replant the world with seeds of, "Well, hey ... she's plump, and she's actually kinda cute and sexy!" But also to promote natural beauty of all kinds - there are some naturally thin girls out their who do still turn my head. To promote activity and healthy natural body sizes - There are many fit fat girls out there who have more healthy energy than most of their thin friends!
I don't claim to be this colossally great artist by any means, but i do what i do, and what i like to do, according to my own lazy patience, directly affected by inspiration. My media are simple: A:) Mechanical Pencils, and B:) Pencil Crayons (aka "colored pencils" or "leads" in Newfie-speak). I've done a couple of charcoal pieces in the past, as well as 2 actual paintings (one of them is here).
I've had 3 Mod's Choices!! I'm very proud and honored to have been chosen, given my unpopular subject matter!
These are the pieces that were chosen:
"
Calling the Storm" - A Rain Mage and a Wind Mage, bringing together their powers to create a tornado
"
Is This Feet?" - A Mermaid getting her wish
"
DevilAngel" - a Half-Angel, Half-Devil Woman whose opposing halves delve into each other, as with all things.
Also, I have a
BBW Calendar for sale Available at my
Cafepress.com account!
The Calendar is here:
http://www.cafepress.com/limegreensquid.37756687I also appreciate the beauty and personality of playful barefeet and the natural beauty of naturally grown body hair. So, don't be surprised to see a general lack of footwear (at least footwear that covers pretty toes), some sexy naturally hairy underarms (which i admit most people won't take to), and hairy pubic areas (which i believe everyone should be used to, but this is a twisted world where everyone thinks shaving their natural hair is the only way to beauty ... which it is NOT!!! It's actually quite disturbing ... especially shaved pubic areas ... and shaved/waxed/shaped eyebrows are gross, too).
So, yah: Fat, hairy, barefoot chicks. Yah, i admit it. Take a look before you judge - beauty comes in all packages. You may be surprised what your inner-self is truly attracted to, despite the social "beauty-perception-training" we've all been through! I know i was! Surprised and delighted!!
Well, i hope you enjoy my gallery!
If you don't enjoy it, and you feel the need to comment, i respectfully ask that you use intelligence in your criticisms. I've had too many cowardly, brainless, closed-minded (how they can be closed-minded without a mind to begin with is beyond me) insulters, "U draw faat chiks 2 much, u suk and shud dye!" who are too cowardly to even leave a name of any sort! So, if you think one of my pieces is stupid, tell me in proper english the aspects in which it could be improved (i'll accept any intelligent arguement OTHER than, "draw her thin, and without body hair!"), or don't comment at all. You only prove yourself to be the stupid one if you don't. How can i take seriously the words of someone who only says the insult, without valid reason, and doesn't even have the confidence in what they are saying to leave their name? Right? Right!
Anyway, enough with the cynicism! I've created this world of beauty in the realm of the Big Beautiful Fat Girl, who stands up against the double-standards of Societal Shaving Rules, and likes teasing you with her toes!
Have fun!!

| Date | Name | Comment | | | 29 Aug 2009 | Amy Luigia Clare | Loading...You are a breath of fresh air - and I am amazed by your work - wow! | |
| 11 Nov 2009 | Occi | Loading...I accept your challenge.
I dislike your art because you are not an adequate artist. All of it has the quality of Disney coloring book line art which makes it simple cartoons. If you are going to take such an outspoken standpoint, maybe you should become more eloquent (metaphorically speaking)
Also, what is attractive about thinner women IS that they’re healthy. It’s easy to tell that such a woman might keep up with one in all one’s activities. Larger women are unattractive for the same reason girly-girls are unattractive. Either look says high maintenance. Both looks say "I want you to do everything for me as I indulge in myself" Untrue? As equally untrue for either subgroup. For someone who seeks an equal in a mate, as all humans do, then maybe a zaftig fraulein is what you need. Lots of, I intend the pun, cushy emotional time. Some of us seek a much more athletic and productive mate.
If you are however simply trying to champion the "healthy" stand point you really ought to draw all body types. Your art and your motto seem to imply that by being healthy according to BMI that a person is somehow unhealthy. I give you 3 different stats on three different women: 5’10" approx 180-190lb. 5’9" 120lb. 5’6" 97lb. All of these women can do the same amount of physical work, they’re eating habits vary wildly. All of them are healthy. By your admonition of the world you should draw all of them, the Amazon, the Athlete and the Stick. So put your cartoons where your words are I say. | |
| 24 Jan 2010 | Does it matter!?!... | Loading...Man your art gives me the creeps.... | |
| 4 Mar 2010 | April Dawn Kilpatrick | Loading...I like your art, simply for the fact that you dont see much like it. I’m a heavy-set girl, but I dont happen to think its beautiful. If anything it is a hindering. But we are all different, in everyway right down to our thoughts. So to each their own right.. | |
| 18 Apr 2010 | Amanda | Loading...I don’t know if you even read any of these but here goes. I want to truly thank you for the beautiful work that you do. Its nice to see someone who thinks of big girls as being beautiful, especially when so many others seem to hate us. I love every piece of your art. I have a figure very close to your piece "If She Hollers..." and with your permission I would love to turn her into my next tattoo. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do and please don’t ever stop. lots of love. | |
| 3 Dec 2010 | Sandra | Loading...Your art is inspirational. But... I have this feeling that even though you feel big woman are beatiful, why have you not done art of big men?
Ive never really been overweight until I gave birth to my second child, yet I still am not super over weight. I like to stay healthy and keep up with my kids.
Both of my children were conceived from what I like to call "My lovey dovey chubby men". I have yet to find men who are nothing but muscal or dont have an ounce of fat on their bodies attractive.
Do you have the skills to make some art work of larger men? I would love to see them. If it wouldnt be to much of a burden ^.^ | |
| 17 Apr 2011 | Freda | Loading...Your work is Amazing. I’ve seen a few other pieces of art but nothing like yours..the Lord has truly blessed you with the gift of Sight & Art. I can’t believe some of the comments I’ve read ..especially from the person complaining about you not doing work of thin women, I say aren’t there enough artist who do them..Keep up your beautiful work..a true blue fan  | |
| 20 Apr 2011 | Renae Renaessance Marie | Loading...I -adore- your art! It is SO super-rare to find artwork featuring truly fluffy, curvy girls- let alone stuff that’s so vibrant and cheery and full of wonder and life!  Your work is pure magic. ^_^ As an artist and fluffy chick myself, this gallery was such a HUGE treat to find!! Would you be open to doing a bit of portraiture? Or perhaps a bit more of mermaid/selchie/undine related art? I’d kill to have someone like you do something of an avatar piece. *beams* Oh! And you wouldn’t happen to have any art featuring bellydancers, would you? I belong to an online group about big beautiful bellydancers and I’m sure the girls would LOVE your art. ^_^ Thank you so much sharing! You rock! | |
| 25 Aug 2011 | Amy | Loading...Where have you been all my life? I have searched and searched for attractive fat fairies and now I have found yours! Thank you so much. I have struggled all my life with feeling unattractive as a large woman. I actually posed nude in Goddess poses for a photographer friend recently and it was one of the most liberating choices of my life!
PS:
Do you sell your art for use on business cards etc...? | |
| 2 Sep 2011 | Juli harde | Loading...I still admire your art work!!!!! you are the best!
thank you for drawing such beautiful ladies | |
