March 7, Berlin book release event: original art and books to benefit Trans*Sexworks!

The first DEMIMONDE book event was gorgeous!

We had an art show and book pickup/sale to benefit Berlin’s Black Sex Workers Collective. The venue is aequa, a cozy covid-cautious space aligned with our values.

We raised over 300 euros for The BSWC’s upcoming conference. I hoped for more but it was raining and the local subway was messed up! You can still support the conference right here.

The second book release event is this Friday, March 7, 6 to 9pm.

We’ll be at aequa/e13, Exerzierstr. 13
13357 Berlin. You can pick up your book and gift of original art if you pre-ordered, or buy a book or a framed piece of original art documenting Queer Berlin.

There will be singing by amazing WIZZY, who I call my adopted nephew, and my friend HP Loveshaft.

There will be a talk by Los Angeles curator and author Anuradha Vikram, and a slideshow of over 800 of my drawings from Berlin and 500 from San Francisco. Including the very explicit ones you have seen nowhere else!

There will be original one-time only flash tattoos by amazing Berlin tattoo artist Bard. I’ll be getting a red umbrella in solidarity with sex workers myself!

Most important of all, this event 100% benefits Berlin peer-to-peer organization Trans*Sexworks.

Every cent from book and art sales goes directly to TSW! Of course, if you can’t make the event, you can donate directly to TSW here.

Hope to see you this Friday, March 7, in Berlin!

Coco Deville models for Sketcherei Berlin!

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!

Sketcherei supports performers and sex workers and always has great music and vibes. Insta here, upcoming events here! Alexandra Ru (aka Barsketcher) and her mom are running the sessions together, and I love that they offer zoom access.

I’m forever deeply grateful to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to keep working as an artist, to share my art for free, and to support artists’ models!
