What is Thick?

"Thick" is not Brittish slang for fat girl! By definition it refers to that which is relatively great in depth, having a great number of, or our favorite, having a heavy consistency. Thick means many things and to us, it embodies fully who we are as artist, writers, and humans. So while we know what you're thinking when you see the word THICK in bold, we love it! We are thick....the ThickArt Collaborative: artist, writers, humanitarians.
