GodXXX Noirphiles performs at Maxim Gorki Theater on June 18 2021 by Suzanne ForbesLast night GodXXX Noirphiles performed live at Maxim Gorki Theater!

Their performance was part of Hyenaz Hyenaz “Hyena Secretions” series. and the show was livestreamed on youtube. Hyena Secretions is part of “Pugs In Love – Queer Week” at the theater. I haven’t been to Maxim Gorki, but it looks cool as hell.

drawing GodXXX Noirphiles on June 18 2021 by Suzanne ForbesI so much admire GodXXX, and I am always so thrilled to see him perform.

I feel loose and wild when I draw her, and I take chances.

detail mixed media drawing of GodXXX Noirphiles June 18 2021 by Suzanne ForbesAs you can see, I used actual wire to represent their silver neck ornament!

I didn’t have/couldn’t find silver wire the right gauge, so I used my chrome marker on a piece of electrical wire! I punched holes in the drawing to attach it! It looks cool 🙂

A spooky special from The Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival!

Larlecchino at Croatian Burlesque Festival Autumn Edition by Suzanne Forbes May 17 2021The Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival is deliciously gothic and glamorous.

The Autumn 2020 edition was a mix of online and IRL, at the traditional venue, which is a boat! A three-day special event with three spooky themes, I loved every single act. The drawing above is L’Arlecchino from Venice.
