Pride is Love. Pride is War. Pride is Warriors.

Wonder Woman at Berlin Lesbian and Gay Festival by Suzanne Forbes July 15 2017Pride is Warrior Princesses and Warrior Queens.

I went to see Donut Heart perform at the Lesbian and Trans* stage at the Berlin Lesbian and Gay Festival last weekend. The festival is one part of the Berlin Pride Month activities, which culminate next weekend in Christopher Street Day. It was a warm and wonderful crowd, a lovely joyful vibe.

I had a great time and was so glad I fought my fear of crowds and went!

Painting a new large portrait at last!

rah wip cu July 2017 Suzanne ForbesI am so excited and happy to be working on this portrait of amazing Berlin rockstar Rah Hell.

rah wip cu July 2017 Suzanne ForbesI met Rah IRL for the first time when she came to my art show at Tremuschi Ink.

Then I drew her performing in Donut Heart for their video release party and at Uke Boogie. We were talking about a plan to make a painting but had not sorted the details.

rah wip July 2017 Suzanne ForbesWhen I went to see Donut Heart again at the Lesbian and Trans stage at the Berlin Lesbian and Gay Festival last weekend, Rah was wearing the perfect outfit.

You all know how I like style and how a great outfit truly inspires me! I was like, would you please wear this awesome outfit to be painted and she said yes! She is wearing a sequined fedora, you will be able to see it better as I work on the details. We’re working again tomorrow, so there will be an update with the progress of this piece soon 🙂
