Almost finished: a portrait of our friend Sebastian!

Sebastian with his portrait by Suzanne Forbes work in progress Oct 30 2018And just in time, as Sebastian has gone home to Australia.

Portrait of Sebastian by Suzanne Forbes work in progress Nov 28 2018Our family will miss him a lot, and we hope he comes back to Berlin soon.

In the meantime, he’s posting awesome pictures of Melbourne graffiti!

I still want to work on this some more, as his arms need resolution, the background is a little unresolved and there is some teeny tiny thing I need to fix with his face.

He is wearing his mom’s scarf and arm warmers she knitted, which I think is so nice.

And I’m sorry I can’t get a better picture, it’s Berlin in the winter and it is very dark in our house 🙂

We like it dark but it does make taking photos challenging!

Portrait of Sebastian detail by Suzanne Forbes work in progress Nov 28 2018I hope to do some more work on this next week, as I’m feeling a little better than I have for most of November.

Goths around town.

Goth girl and her mom at Dussmanns Nov 24 2018 by Suzanne ForbesI drew this tall goth girl and her mom at Dussmann’s.

I was waiting for a friend and they were waiting for a concert in the beautiful underground cafe with the living wall.

goth guy on the U Bahn Nov 23 2018 by Suzanne ForbesI saw this guy in the U station and loved his outfit.

The combo of plaid skirt, heavy socks and turtleneck looks great and I immediately fell to wondering how I could get my husband to rock a similar look…
