how can you not smiling while looking at this?
I love Bethesda.
Whenever I think my body is unattractive and inadequate, I reverse the thought to “my THOUGHTS about my body are unattractive and inadequate.” Regardless of size or shape, your body is perfect for you. You’re the only person who can occupy it, so be kind to yourself.
This episode of “is my body trying to kill me” is called: “Stomach and Uterus double team”

Interview with Mario De Meyer
I’ve followed Mario De Meyer’s work for just over a year and in that very short span of time the Belgian’s design work has exploded in popularity. His beautiful experiments in lines and lettering have helped him carve out a niche that has also caught the eye of some big-name clients. I thought it was about time we got to know him a little better.
You are quite active on Behance and Instagram but further information about you online is quite scarce. Is this a conscious decision?
It kind of was. I wanted to share my work on a global scale and connect with people. Behance and Instagram looked like the perfect platforms for doing that and a website didn’t. Both platforms have a lot in common but are very different, I use Instagram a lot to test things out and see how people react to it. Behance is more serious. The competition there is of such a high quality that it encourages you to just do better, which is something I really like. I hope to finally put my website online this year, it’s on my to-do list :-)
What led you to start working with lettering?
My love for lettering is something that grew over the years. During school typography lessons were always one of my favourites, but I never thought back then that it would become my main focus. Typography wasn’t so big back then. I think my love of lettering actually came from frustration. Belgium is a pretty complicated country and the fact that we have two languages (Dutch and French) doesn’t make it any easier. Certainly when you’re a designer, clients don’t want two designs but still require two languages.
This frustration was healthy in a way. As a reaction I started designing stuff for myself for fun, with my own philosophy and to challenge myself.
Your linework and textures have taken on a life of their own. Can you tell us more about them?
They really have, I’m still a bit overwhelmed by that. I’m a night person and after work is done I usually challenge myself to explore new techniques and styles. I posted some of these results on my Behance page as Novelty Waves 1 and not long after that Adobe contacted me to license the artwork as a splash screen for Adobe Prelude. A year later I released the 2nd series and that had a lot of exposure and attracted the attention of a lot of people. Almost all of these images have been licensed by now and this has lead me to do similar work, like the designs for Fortune Magazine I made recently.
This is exactly one of the reasons I really love networks like Behance. The work started as a small experiment and snowballed into something pretty big, I never expected that.
I noticed that your portfolio of personal work is now peppered with commercial projects. Have these projects altered your creative direction?
Not really, in the end people come to me because they like my style, or a certain project I’ve done. Its more a confirmation that I must be doing something right :)
Do you have a vision for the sort of designs and styles you’d like to explore in 2016
I would like to explore animations combined with typography.
What advice would you give to someone starting out in lettering?
Get your stuff out there, connect and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, but don’t forget to learn from them!
Thanks Mario, Keep up the excellent work!
This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic? She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing. But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great. She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success. So - what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear. Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles. He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses. You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on. Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered. He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way. I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did.
It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this. But no one ever told me. I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes. No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed. I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to. No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to. I guess I just didn’t know. I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while. But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not. Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
This post is one of those things that I will reblog every time it appears on my dash. This is so important, and no one ever tells you about it.
I almost didn’t read this but then I did and I’m really glad that I did.
Super important
