Natasha Artworx body painting!

People will be the canvas, experiences will be documented on the spot, gender roles will be reversed. Come to Ludwig, join and meet us and have a toast to this whimsical art affair!

Ludwig is a lovely queer-embracing space that is designed to show art beautifully. We will be exhibiting brand new works by me, Natascha Artworx (who will also be doing bodypainting) and curator/artist Suzanne Wegh.

Bring your drawing supplies; we will have a professional model posing, electro-accordion chanteuse Natasha Enquist who is one of my very favorite life models.

I’ll be live-painting in the life modelling session and live-drawing the event! The painting I do will be raffled off, with free raffle tickets!

I’ll be offering drawing tips and doing a mini-gesture workshop too!

There will be a gorgeous drag performance (more deets to follow)

-Plus I’m gonna make a bunch of vegan sweet treats which will be for sale!

Life drawing session at ESDIP Berlin: a very pregnant tattooed lady!

Martha reclining drawn by Suzanne Forbes at ESDIP Berlin Aug 4 2017I went to the life drawing session at ESDIP Berlin again and this time I drew a lovely model named Martha who is about to have her baby!

I think I drew a pregnant woman once, well actually twice in my whole drawing career before, I don’t have a picture of the second one which was a private commission of my friend Mindy.

Martha in blue wig drawn by Suzanne Forbes Aug 4 2017For part of the session Martha wore a flowing blue wig! Of course, no one with a comics background can draw a naked pregnant woman without thinking of the late Jeffrey Catherine Jones and her creation Idyl.

It was totally by accident that I drew her as a naked, tattooed, pregnant Whistler’s Mother.

Martha in blue wig drawn by Suzanne Forbes Aug 4 2017What a beautiful evening it was, with a crowd of three dozen artists quietly working hard to capture Martha in her immanence.

Mysteriously, the group was almost entirely women, many of us tattooed blue-haired women. It was very special. I’ve had a lot of luck of both kinds in my life. The night I accidentally found my way to ESDIP Berlin for the first time was one of the very luckiest.
