Girls! Let's laugh together at our terrible body image issues, fears, and overthinking problems. "Too fat, too thin, too round, too flat, too much pizza, not enough yoga," we are all perfect and beautiful and let's try to leave it at that!
My name is Rachel Lev and I am a French artist and illustrator. I create colorful and funny drawings in order to describe some of my everyday life. My work is focused on the before-mentioned low self-esteem issues and devastating body image that many girls are facing nowadays. Inspired by the everyday problems of young women, these cartoon drawings depict the self-destructive side of our mind, but with humor, colors, softness, and irony. The more twisted our mind is, the funnier the drawing ideas are!
So, drama queens, don't hesitate and share with me your worst girl problems - we will create great jokes about them and turn them into funny situations! To me, body positivity is a mantra - my work encourages self-love and strong women empowerment. We should all laugh at our mundane problems, whether they're big or small because we all have the same ones. So, let's support each other and always try to find a silver lining.

this happens all the time - best ideas comes when it's time to sleep
I feel old now that I choose vegetables over meat during meals.. But pizza?! Ughh , age doesn't matter.
Uhm, well....you do realize that this is not only happening to women? That us men feel the same, disgusting obese monster that some of us are or have become. It is just as damaging to both genders. (just saying, I am sure that this is just drawn from her perspective instead of excluding males)
The more I tried to sleep the more it is that my brain keeps opening closed boxes of forgotten memories and dreams.
Before my period is like I have eaten a whole pie of sensitive emotions.
Why do we keep getting comics like this, yeah okay they're nice to read the first few maybe but they are all the same. Maybe like I'm on my own in this but like the art is cute I guess but it's not like we haven't seen it a million times.
I understand your thought because so many are similar and used to feel the same but now I see it as something that helps cure my boredom for a minute. If I don't like it, I move on to the next post. People like to share what's going on in their minds and hope others can relate to it or learn from it.
I wish more comics that are meant to spread awareness can teach more solutions on their use of comics, such as therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, MSBR (Palouse Mindfulness the website might help), muscle progression relaxation technique, journaling prompts you can check up online, art therapy ideas online, support groups or mindfulness for depression books. Many techniques around these therapies take time to do, yes, but are easy to learn, making it easily digestible for an audience. It’s like cleaning a big dirty beach — it’s intellectually easy to pick up one piece of trash, but it takes time to clean things up physically and emotionally, especially with a mountain of trash.

at least this one doesn't look like it was made by an autistic chicken. there is some real skill ant talent in these
As a person who loves sweets and everything good in life. I feel like we're not really pushing for healthy eating habits. Like no hate, exercising sucks but so does heart disease.
But its not about not promoting healthy food or exercise. Body positivity is about not hating your body and to not bully others because of their bodies. Yes, the majority of us need to be healthier, we need to improve. But lets try to no it without hating ourselves.
Not hating our bodies = being good to our bodies. No amount of body-positivity will stop high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease. The artist claims to promote body positivity, yet many drawings are of eating pizza.
For many people they are perfectly healthy despite being "overweight." Some people can eat junk food and not have any health issues. It's unique to the individual. These kinds of comics are true for what a lot of people deal with on an emotional level. When you make generalizations based on if someone drew their character turning to pizza, it doesn't mean they are dealing with heart disease. Also, as someone who has an emotional disorder, sometimes you have to pick your battles - fight your internal demons while crying over a salad or just eat the damn pizza; and when I see these kinds of comics, I see that internal struggle being drawn.
Oddly I feel like the commercial average joes at the end of dodgeball sums it up nicely with: I’m here to tell ya I think you’re perfect just the way you are but if you feel like losing some weight, getting healthier and making some friends come on down.
I like these.
