Second Annual Longest Night collaboration with Sadie Lune!

Last night I renewed my collaboration with Eternal Muse Sadie Lune for the Winter Solstice.

For the second year in a row, we met on zoom to make art and set intentions, hold hope and hold each other in our hearts.

Drawing of Sadie Lune, a tall and beautiful white femme. She is veiled and surrounded by candles, wearing lace and corset.

Again Sadie absolutely stunned and amazed with her makeup and styling.

Celebrating the Longest Night in the Court of Night Blooming Flowers is a theme in the Kushiel’s Dart books.

When I was working at Wicked Grounds in 2009 I was introduced to the Kushiel’s Legacy series by Jacqueline Carey. Everyone at work was a fan! Prominent in the extremely kinky and queer series are the Servants of Naamah, a church and religion of sex worker priests and priestesses. It was the perfect fantasy series for the kinky queers and sex workers of Wicked Grounds!

I hope Sadie and I can convene and do this beautiful ritual again.

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.

Coco Deville models for Sketcherei Berlin!

Mixed media drawing of Coco Deville in her Voodoo Priestess costume. She is a curvacious Black woman posed regally with hands on hips.What a treat to draw Coco Deville for the first time!

International burlesque chameleon Ms. Coco Deville was in town to perform for beloved Sinner’s Saloon one year anniversary show. So she also made time to grace the Zum Starken August stage for Sketcherei!

Her performance is amazing, and her costume is so detailed and beautiful. It has a real Ghita of Alizarr vibe!
