Rubyyy Jones Show Pony tribute to vintage circus!

Rubyyy Jones as Show Pony liquitex acrylic ink trial May 30 2022 by Suzanne Forbes I had to draw this session!

The May sessions of Life Drawing Rubyyy Jones were “Vintage Circus” themed. I was astonished at the costume Prinx Lydia created for Rubyyy, an homage to Victorian burlesque lady Eliza Blasina. And made almost entirely of re-used thrifted and upcycled materials!

I am so grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art as a vaccinated but Covid-vulnerable disabled person.
