Thanks to my amazing friend Daria Rhein, who is a tattoo artist there, I met the lovely folks who own Tremuschi Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery in Friedrichshain.
vernissage for Suzanne Forbes May 12 2017 by Uschi Tremuschi
I was invited to show my works and we had a vernissage (that’s what we say in Europe instead of opening!) on Friday night.
The night before, Daria and her sib from another crib Marina helped me hang the show.
What a wonderful, glorious time we had! So many dear ones new and old attended.
Here you can see Miss Natasha Enquist chatting with a fellow whose name we couldn’t pronounce!
Our friend Nathan, who was hub’s acupuncture doctor in the Bay, was in Berlin for re:publica, working his awesome new Makerspace networking startup, MakerNet.
He took care of Daria’s headache problem! One of my old lovers who lives in Berlin came and bought a piece. Our friends Ben and Ursula came and took the hubbin over to Santa Cantina, and returned with delicious Mexican food for me to nom.
My ESDIPBerlin fam came and represented, as well as new internet friends like curator Suzanne Wegh and Rah Hell of Berlin Uke rock band Donut Heart.
Several of the hub’s co-workers made it, as well as cool hackers from CCC, and lots of Berlin-based or soon to be Berlin-based programmers and Burners we hadn’t met before.
Half a dozen pieces sold immediately. I simply had the most wonderful time. I am happier here in Berlin with my hubbin than I have ever been in my life. Fifty is amazing; I am so grateful I lived, so grateful to be in long-term remission from depression, and to be able to make art.
My Patrons on Patreon make it all possible, so take a bow, supporters of the arts! I love you.
I love seeing women out and about in Berlin.
This woman eating dinner by herself with a book, as I love to do, was extremely content.
This woman was working on a chilly night in Schoneberg, in her Han Solo pants.
This woman has what is called a “Tennessee Waterfall”. I learned that on The Walking Dead.
