Drawing an artist friend in my neighborhood!

Puck the Hare posing at Adenaurplatz August 26 by Suzanne ForbesGood heavens it was glorious to spend two hours with Beloved Friend-Muse-Patron Puck on Adenauerplatz yesterday.

She arrived clad in iridescent holographic fetish bunny wear and literally lit up the plaza like a beam of cosmic light.

I hadn’t seen Puck in person since I drew her dancing at Torture Garden Berlin on February 28, 2020! I knew it would be a dream to work with her though, as she is both a professional photographer and photography model. Plus a genius with outfits!

Above, you can see the drawing as it was after our two hours sitting outside Graffiti on Adenauerplatz.

Since we were going to be seated at a table, I brought my pastels and watercolor pens. I wore my prescription goggles and two FFP2 masks, and I felt really pretty comfortable and safe enough.

These details were taken outside, where the pigments can really spark.

Here is Puck through the camera lens!

So grateful to Puck and to all my other Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art as a vaccinated but Covid-vulnerable disabled person.

With your support, I can work from home or safely outside and keep telling the stories of Berlin.

A spooky special from The Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival!

Larlecchino at Croatian Burlesque Festival Autumn Edition by Suzanne Forbes May 17 2021The Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival is deliciously gothic and glamorous.

The Autumn 2020 edition was a mix of online and IRL, at the traditional venue, which is a boat! A three-day special event with three spooky themes, I loved every single act. The drawing above is L’Arlecchino from Venice.
