About this work

Description

"'Fat Guys are the Best' and 'Fat Guys are the Worst' are a pair of books based on the same compositions taken from Bulk Male Magazine (a pornographic magazine catering to larger men and their admirers published between 1991 and 2003), one book transcribes these compositions into scenes of happiness and joy the other depicts nightmarish scenarios. 'Fat Guys are the Worst' includes backgrounds inspired by two Toshio Saeki books: Chimushi I (1995) and Chimushi II (2003). The books explore themes of desire, fatness, gender, sexuality, print culture, sexual subcultures, 90's - 00's pop culture, horror and humour."--From artist's website.
