Berlin summer days on the KuDamm.

Roxy the dj at Berlin Classic Days by Suzanne Forbes June 10 2018This is Roxy the DJ, she was so nice!

I went to an event called Berlin Classic Days, a car show/street fair that happens in our neighborhood.

Dancer at Berlin Classic Days by Suzanne Forbes June 10 2018Here’s a dancer who was working with the street art crew.

The folks from Murales Berlin art collective had some of their graffiti/calligraphy/art-transformed cars on display.

Miss Natasha Enquist at Berlin Classic Days by Suzanne Forbes June 10 2018 1My friend Miss Natasha Enquist was performing and I very rarely draw outside, so I wanted to take the opportunity.

Miss Natasha Enquist at Berlin Classic Days by Suzanne Forbes June 10 2018 I was sitting in the shade in the tent with Roxie so I was drawing MNE from a new angle, her very lovely and hard-earned posterior!

I was intrigued by the way the straps of the accordion delineated her shoulders. An accordion is such a heavy, breathing instrument; I love to draw the way people play with their whole bodies.Miss Natasha Enquist at Berlin Classic Days by Suzanne Forbes June 10 2018 2

I especially like the fashion-illustration style of this last one.

I was gonna be a fashion artist before I discovered superhero comics. I don’t know how long it’ll be before I can draw live again or use a pencil/brush pen, because of the bus accident I was in. So these are the last new drawings for a bit! But my orthopedist says I should heal up just fine. Meanwhile, I’ll be finishing up other things and doing other kinds of art 🙂

When the ladies play the blues.

Rah Hell and Alfred Ladylike perform with Vintage and Used by Suzanne Forbes May 29 2018I returned to the delightful Art Stalker Berlin to see the first Donut Heart reunion.

Alfred Ladylike and Rah Hell were performing with blues band Vintage & Used. Rah says I am getting better at drawing the drums! It was interesting to draw her arm and wrist movements playing the blues vs. playing punk with Baron and The Erinyes. Her axis of movement was much lower. You can see what I mean by that, with the sharper angle of her forearms, in these drawings from the Sekrit Rehearsal Space. You can see my previous visit to Art Stalker here!

Vintage & Used is the other band Baron Anastis is in and they were great. Greek guys can totally play the blues!

As always, I am so grateful to my beautiful Patrons on Patreon for providing the monthly sponsorship that allows me to document the Berlin music scene!
