Gainer Art

"You must remember one thing, if I can leave you with anything, if my years out here can benefit you at all, then let it be with this. Never forget that all of these people are primarily a visual people. They are designers, window dressers, models, photographers, graphic artists. They design the windows at Saks. Do you understand? They are a visual people, and they value the eye, and their sins, as Saint Augustine said, are the sins of the eye."

—Andrew Holleran, Dancer from the Dance

It is tempting to fill this page with all of the glorious artwork that has been produced over the years by gainers and encouragers. But in keeping with the idea of being a resource, this page will instead just provide some general information and a representative set of links to help people explore on their own.

First the general information:

• The line between chub/chaser art and gainer/encourager art is almost nonexistent. Gainers and encouragers fantasize about guys becoming super fat, so they are turned on by images of super fat guys. Some of the art is more clearly gainer oriented because it includes scenes of feeding, bondage, belly expansion, and so on. This page attempts to include the most important gainer art, but not necessarily all of the important chub art.
• The most famous gainer art of all time was produced by an artist who called himself Warren B. Davis. Not a lot is known about him. Most people believe that Warren Davis was not his real name and that he is probably no longer living, but we don't know for sure. His iconic images continue to be posted and reposted and his style has helped to inspire a new generation of artists.
• There is clearly a connection between the furry community and the gainer community. Because each furry invents his own fursona, he can add whatever attributes he wants. He can have a huge belly or he can even have the ability to grow and shrink his belly. And because it is an entirely imagined world, it can involve extremes that make no sense in the real world. So the furry genre is a great place for gainers and encouragers to explore their fantasies.
