“Honestly when it’s just me… I really do like my body.” - Hien Pham
We’ve had a bunch of messages from Wonderfully Done listeners asking for us to have a lovely ace guest. Well! We recently had the absolute pleasure of interviewing a dear friend of ours, Hien Pham. As well as being a brilliant (and often smutty) artist, Hien is gay, gray-ace and an advocate of body acceptance and sex positivity - everything we love!
Who is Hien Pham?
Hien Pham (he/him) is a digital artist specializing in gentle and optimistic queer comics.
He grew up in Vietnam on war stories before moving and finding a home in Australia. His work revolves around respite, around caring and loving and being loved and cared for.
Topics we explore in this episode:
- Self-healing through creative expression
- Fat joy and fighting fatphobia
- Dating while ace, and dating ace people
- Being a smut creator while on the ace spectrum
- What even is ‘masculinity’, anyway?
