Berlin Graphic Days Nr. 8, July 2016

Daria and I had a table at the Summer Session of Berlin Graphic Days.Berlin Graphic Days Suzanne Forbes July 1 2016

Patrons Berlin Graphic Days July 1 2016 by Suzanne ForbesWe chose to be there only for the Night Market on Friday from 6pm to 2am, which was the right choice given my health challenges and Daria having a full-time art job.

However, there was definitely not as much action Friday night as there is during the Saturday session, and we missed some amazing fellow artists who didn’t make the Friday event. We both sold a few things (Daria’s cool F*ck u I’m Evil bags sold out instantly) and met some lovely people, and friends came to see us. You can see the delightful scene here– be warned the link takes you to Facebook 😛

 

I made some drawings of people with fabulous hair.

It was the first time I’d tabled at an event in quite a few years, maybe since 2009, and in between I’ve had some ridic-ass health issues that mean my energy level seems to be permanently much lower. I’m a spoonie, at least for now, and just can’t do all the things I’d like to.

Still, at the end of the night Daria and I were whipping out portraits for people, and it was heavenly.

And I got to visit Urban Spree at last. And it is amazing, a crazy fuck-you honey badger of a venue where artists rule and the feasting and drinking goes til dawn.
