Dotti Moscati for the Sketcherei Valentines’ Special!

Dotti Moscati for Sketcherei Valentines Feb 14 2022 by Suzanne ForbesI love to draw Dotti Moscati.

She is one of my favorite Berlin performers, with her “twisted clown” feminist humor and sweet moves. And the Berlin life drawing team of Sketcherei always does a wonderful job putting on a session.

Dotti Moscati for Sketcherei Valentines Feb 14 2022 by Suzanne Forbes 2I was only able to do a couple drawings, as I ran out of steam.

It was great to see Dotti onstage at Zum Starken August, and to see Alexandra Ru (aka Barsketcher) doing the setup, even through a screen.

I miss these Berlin art scene mainstays and the life drawing scene so much.

Here are some Valentines’ drawings from Big Broad Revue two years ago, the last time I drew Dotti IRL. Drawing Dotti from the House of Presents live-stream in 2020. Dotti talking Burlesque politics and taking a stand for inclusion and diversity at Big Broad Revue in 2019. And the most underground life drawing ever, with Sketcherei and Chiqui Love!

Dotti’s website is here, linktree here and insta here.

As always, I am profoundly grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art as a vaccinated but Covid-vulnerable disabled person.

SantaRob December 24 2021 by Suzanne ForbesScientist by profession, singer and Berlin music maven by praxis, our friend Robert did Santa Walks this year!

He grew out his beard and went to multiple neighborhoods on missions of kindness and friendship, including feeding a friend’s cats. So lovely!

Since I live on the far side of town and I was skittish about going outdoors, Rob and I set up a zoom session for Santa vibes and chat. It was so nice. He said the angle of the camera is called a “Dutch Angle”!

You can see more drawings of Rob, who is our good friend and also my longtime Patron, here (his fabulous birthday show at Monster Ronsons) and here! His insta with mixed media fun is here.

I am so grateful to Robert and 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.
