Remote live-drawing Queeriosity Cabaret, with hostess Donna Trump!

Lucy Stoole for Queeriosity April 4 2020 by Suzanne ForbesWhat a great international group of drag performers!

Queeriosity Cabaret went online last night, with 50% of the proceeds benefiting mask making for the NHS. Donna Trump, who I drew last summer for Bushwig Berlin, was the hostess, but we did not get to see her lovely face. The amazing, mind-blowing performer above is Lucy Stoole.

Lily Lustre for Queeriosity April 4 2020 by Suzanne ForbesLily Lustre, a beautiful and kind artist who I have drawn before, did a dinosaur act!

You know how I love an inflatable dinosaur!

Merrie Cherry for Queeriosity April 4 2020 by Suzanne ForbesMerrie Cherry is an extraordinary artist, Drag Mother and performer.

You gotta see her Black Women Empowerment Project, created for Black History Month, with representations of historic and contemporary black women whose contributions must be recognized. Her performance last night was made in the swimming pool – so joyful!!

Neon Calypso for Queeriosity April 4 2020 by Suzanne ForbesNeon Calypso is so gorgeous! What a blazing number!

Never expected to see such a hot show from an ordinary kitchen, and her outfit!!!

Cara Melle for Queeriosity April 4 2020 by Suzanne Forbes
The last drawing of the night was of breathtaking Cara Melle, the Beyonce of London!

She made ingenious use of silhouettes and bare space with great lighting and camera work, and she moves like the queen of the world! There’s a video up now 🙂

I am so grateful to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support lets me keep documenting queer performers while I work safely at home.

 

 

Drawing my mom on Zoom, Alfred Ladylike on Youtube, and Janet on Twitch!

portrait of Pat Ketchum drawn via Zoom March 27 2020 by Suzanne ForbesI did this drawing of my mom, Patricia Ketchum, during a Zoom talk.

It was one of the first remote drawings I did! It definitely helps to know the face of the person I’m drawing.

Alfred Ladylike livestreams on Youtube by Suzanne Forbes March 27 2020This is my friend Alfred Ladylike, drawn as they perform a live concert on Youtube last week.

Alfred‘s Patreon is here and their beautiful song “Rainbow Medicine” on youtube is here. Check out the incredible nerdcore rap “Wizards RULE!” here.

Janet posing for Drink and Draw Berlin April 2 2020 by Suzanne ForbesMy friend Janet, who is a wonderful artist, art teacher and artist’s model, posed for the first remote Drink and Draw Berlin.

Janet is a great model and also teaches drawing with DandD Berlin. This livestream was hosted by Julian DIeckert of DandD Berlin, a terrific draughtsman, who offered tips in the splitscreen.
