Evilyn Frantic modeling for Sketcherei!

They are one of my favorite Berliners to draw – in fact, I first met them on the street outside Berlin Burlesque Week in 2017, and said “Hello, I would like to draw your picture!”

Evilyn is a sideshow and burlesque performer, producer, model and emcee.

I especially loved this marvelous witch look, with big boots and layered lace. I drew them onstage at Violet Variete, for the Berlin Bruiser queer rugby team, and in baroque styling for Dr. Sketchy’s. And mostly recently in 2020, in early lockdown days, for a Full Moon Cabaret online show – live from Evilyn’s mom’s sauna!

So it was wonderful to join a Sketcherei session featuring Evilyn last week. (You can see the in-person moments here!)

Sketcherei supports performers and sex workers and always has great music and vibes. Insta here, upcoming events here! Alexandra Ru (aka Barsketcher) and her mom are running the sessions together, and I love that they offer zoom access.

I’m so grateful to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to keep working as an artist, to share my art for free, and to support Berlin performers!

 

Beautiful Brown Sugar Biscuit!

I made this fan art to support Berlin’s lovely Brown Sugar Biscuit.

She is a big part of our community and always such a joy. Ambika is still trying to catch up after a medical emergency, and you can help right here! She’s performing at Hive Tea, one of my favorite Berlin events, tomorrow night. And at the PokeHouse at Tipsy Bear on April 5th!

It’s so important to support our community creatives and help everyone to thrive!
