#repealthe8th The Eighth Amendment criminalises abortion in all cases except where to continue a pregnancy would result in death. This archaic and dangerous law: -infringes on the human rights of women in Ireland and goes against international human rights norms - denies access to basic health care, forcing over 154,000 to travel overseas to obtain an abortion since 1980. - criminalises those who self-administer abortion pills in Ireland - maintains a false and medically dangerous distinction between risk to health and risk to life. - discriminates against those who cannot travel to obtain abortions - does not reflect present public opinion in Ireland.

This is my favourite illustration from my new picture book. It's also the drawing that inspired the tote bag that's available. Narwhals and swimming are my favourite. 🐋👙💙 (Check out the zine and tote on my site, link in my bio!) #art #illustration #smallbusiness #zine #picturebook #irishillustration #digitalart #narwhal #whale #effyourbeautystandards #chubby #hairylegs #sea #water

YAY IT IS THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN! This is my absolute favourite season. Here's a little Autumn babe I drew a while back. Yay! #art #illustration #autumn #september #windy #artistsofintagram 🍁🍃🍂🌾

Happy National Lipstick Day! This lovely bunny keeps cropping up in my morning warm up doodles. I think she may need a name soon. Any suggestions? 💄💋🐰❤️ #lipstickday #doodle #illustration #warmup #art #fat #chubby #effyourbeautystandards

💙 Little illustration from this week, drawing inspiration from the beautiful @kobi_jae #art #illustration #pendrawing #artistofintagram #fat #stretchmarks #curvee #effyourbeautystandards (and hello to the mermaid leggings from @chubbycartwheels, making an appearance there!) 💙

This week has been rough but here's to a fresh start tomorrow! Woo! #justkeepswimming #fatshion #effyourbeautystandards

My make up look of the day. I call it "I'm not wearing any make up but can you tell I'm painting the bedroom white?" #muotd #daytimelook #homeimprovement #byebyesnotgreenwalls 💙
