My art book crowdfund is live til Oct. 14! Please help my last art project happen.

Demimonde The Live Drawing of Suzanne Forbes art book crowdfund campaignMy art career has come to an end. But I have one last big project!

This is your only chance to fund and purchase a book of my art!

For twenty years, I’ve used skills developed as a tv courtroom artist to live-draw LGBTQ+ and kink community. Now at the end of my working life, I want to preserve and share these portraits of cherished folx, many marginalized and often erased.

San Francisco Fetish Ball chapter from Demimonde: the live drawing of Suzanne ForbesYour 8.5″x 11″ (like A4), 200+ page hardcover copy of “Demimonde” includes color and b&w drawings of SF and Berlin kinksters, drag artists, and lots of trans beloveds!

Please help me make this happen.

It’s the biggest, deepest dream of my life, and it’s now or never.

Demimonde The Live Drawing of Suzanne Forbes art book crowdfund campaignHere’s how to help support and buy your copy of Demimonde: The Live Drawing of Suzanne Forbes!

Go to the link, choose “free support”, the option of having the E-book emailed, or choose having the physical book shipped to you.  Most payment forms are accepted.

This is the only way to buy the book.

It won’t be for sale on Amazon, at bookstores, or online after the crowdfund ends October 14. I am simply too sick to manage any kind of ongoing business.

I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped so far!

Sadie Lune at HAU!

Color drawing of Sadie Lune, a slim white femme wearing 80s workout wear. She is holding up an inflatable dolphin onstage in a theater.My friend Sadie Lune was part of a recent program at Hebbel am Ufer.

The program, “On Abolishing the Family – and finding Alternatives”, featured readings, a panel, pop-ups, and more. Sadie Lune performed as an ecosexercise workout instructor along with a screening of Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens short film.

It was very fun and beautiful to see Annie and Beth air-hugging trees on the big screen.

The HAU staff had kindly organized a reserved chair for me, but I had forgotten to specify that I need a chair with arms and so I wound up exhausted from supporting my body and had to leave before the panel Sadie participated in.

I’m just grateful I was able to be there.

You can learn about Sadie’s work on her (NSFW) website. And here’s her Insta, and her twitter . My flickr gallery of drawings and paintings of Sadie is here!

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

With your support, I can work from home or safely outside and keep telling the stories of Berlin.
