Sadie Lune and Vampirina with Hello Kitty by Suzanne Forbes Oct 24 2020Yeah, we knocked this one outta the park!

Team Supreme Sadie Lune, young Vampirina and I set up this zoom portrait sitting back in September, knowing Halloween is our time to shine!

Sadie Lune and Vampirina Pieta by Suzanne Forbes Oct 24 2020The Vampire Baby Jesus Pieta was Sadie’s idea.

Brilliant, right? Vampirina is holding one of my Alien Venus Flytrap plants, specially made for her a while back.

Sadie Lune and Vampirina 1st pose by Suzanne Forbes Oct 24 2020Vampirina was reading a “Goosebumps” book.

This was the first pose we did, and Vampirina requested that I make the background “old and scary”.

Sadie Lune and Vampirina with Hearse Sept 28 2021 by Suzanne ForbesYou know how your kid likes to drive a toy car over you?

I have collaborated with Sadie so many times; she is an unfailing muse even in the hardest days. You can learn about her work on her (NSFW) website. And here’s her Insta, and her twitter .

A virtual visit to Dr. Sketchy London and Life Drawing with Berlin Strippers Collective!

Sebastian Angelique for Dr Sketchys London by Suzanne Forbes Sept 20 2020I caught the livestream of the London branch of Dr. Sketchy’s for the first time this month.

I had seen the model Sebastian Angelique perform for an online burlesque show and had been too tired to draw him that night. So I was thrilled to catch this dual online/IRL session. I very much appreciate that many events are continuing to stream as they return to IRL – it is wonderful to have access even though I am immunocompromised and can’t go out!

Plus I get to see charming venues like Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club! Sebastian modeled in his newly created St. Sebastian act costume (the arrows are paintbrushes!) and the show was hosted by his bf Dusty Limits, who I had drawn years ago in Berlin at the Vaudeville Variete show. Dr. Sketchy London is quite different from my late and dearly beloved Dr. Sketchy’s Berlin. It’s a playful cabaret vibe, with Dusty charming everyone and encouraging relaxation and fun.

You can get your tickets here!

Chiqui Love for Berlin Strippers Collective x Sketcherei by Suzanne Forbes Sept 6 2020I also “visited” a Berlin-based dual IRL/livestream drawing session this month.

Berlin Strippers Collective had an IRL life drawing event at 800a in Wedding, and the wonderful folks Alexandra and Liana of Sketcherei handled the live-streaming. You can check out BSC life drawing events here!

Chiqui Love gestures for Berlin Strippers Collective x Sketcherei by Suzanne Forbes Sept 6 2020I always love to draw Chiqui Love!

The scheduled model was delayed by a classic Berlin transit snafu, and Chiqui stepped in to model. She is a joy to draw.

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