I am so excited and happy to be working on this portrait of amazing Berlin rockstar Rah Hell.
I 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.
When 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 🙂
I had to draw these two!
This poised tween was reading a paper book and wearing 80s style jeans.
