Mixed media drawing of Coco Deville in her Voodoo Priestess costume. She is a curvacious Black woman posed regally with hands on hips.What a treat to draw Coco Deville for the first time!

International burlesque chameleon Ms. Coco Deville was in town to perform for beloved Sinner’s Saloon one year anniversary show. So she also made time to grace the Zum Starken August stage for Sketcherei!

Her performance is amazing, and her costume is so detailed and beautiful. It has a real Ghita of Alizarr vibe!

Walking away from him 2017 by Suzanne Forbes Feb 24 2023 smThis drawing was begun in 2017.

It depicts a moment I saw out the window of the M19 bus in West Berlin, late at night. A bold young woman just blissfully walking away. I drew her and the young man, but didn’t want to draw the bicycle or background, so this quintessential Berlin moment languished unfinished for years. I found a stack of unfinished 2017 drawings this week, and decided to finish a couple of them, thanks to my Patrons.

I am so thankful for my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art.
