You're Welcome Club celebrates human diversity in all its shapes and forms. The future is inclusive! 


You're Welcome Club is created by Sam Hil Atalanta (they/them), an Amsterdam based illustrator.

Sam Hil: ‘The popular media are portraying a certain image, ‘ideal’ or ‘perfect’ women and men. They are mostly thin/athletic models, often white - and mainly very feminine women and very masculine men. Many of us don’t recognise themselves in these models, who are presented as ‘ideal’. Seeing these ‘perfect’ models can make us feel insecure about ourselves, even feeling left out - as it’s often an impossible standard they have to live up to. However, seeing oneself represented can give us the reassurance that we are normal, that we belong.

You’re Welcome Club is an illustrational project in which I’m celebrating diversity by showing individuals with various body types, sexualities, gender identities and backgrounds. It’s a series of illustrations in which people can recognise themselves, and I'm putting an emphasis on individuals that aren’t often portrayed. I want people to feel welcome, included, and to know that they belong.’

ABOUT ME
 

My name is Sam Hil Atalanta (they/them). I'm an illustrator and painter, based in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

My work revolves around diversity, sexuality and inclusivity. I love making portraits, and I enjoy working in different styles. I work with various media such as watercolour, oil paint and digital art.

Besides You’re Welcome Club, I'm working on several other projects. With The Vulva Gallery I focus on vulva diversity and sex education, and with The Body Diversity Gallery I’ve broadened this approach to celebrate all kinds of body parts.

I'm available for commissions and collaborations. If you would like to get in touch, please email me here, or click on the contact button and send me a message.
