Demimonde: The Live Drawing of Suzanne Forbes

This is your only chance to fund and buy a book of Suzanne Forbes' art! For twenty years, Suzanne used skills built as a tv courtroom artist to live-draw LGBTQ+ and kink community. Now at the end of her working life, Suzanne wants to preserve and share these portraits of cherished folx, many marginalized and often erased. Your 8.5"x 11" (like A4), 200+ page hardcover copy of "Demimonde" includes color and b&w drawings of SF and Berlin kinksters, drag artists, and trans beloveds!

, and a heartfelt thank you on all my websites! Ships electronically to anywhere in the world.

Berlin pickup only: I’m in the book! This is specifically for people who Suzanne has already drawn, she has asked to be in the book, and who have consented to be in the book. 1 Copy of the book at 60% less than production cost, for pickup in Berlin at the release party or Suzanne’s house, plus your choice of my gift of any two available original drawings, framed. Plus your name on thank you list in the book and on the websites.

You'll know if I was able to include a drawing of you in the book if you got the special message or email about it. Believe me, I wanted to include EVERYONE, and this edit was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Each copy of the book costs about 80 euros to design, print and ship to Berlin, so it costs me 50 euros to sell at this price. Which I am delighted to do, and my mom has donated 550 euros to cover the first 11 copies!

If you live in or visit Berlin, you can pick up your copy at the release party in Berlin or from Suzanne directly, and have it signed. IMPORTANT: Although the startnext popup says shipping is included, on every reward, shipping is not included on this one. Pickup in Berlin is the only way to get your book at this price. Because I am disabled, I will have to use a fulfillment company or paid assistant to ship books in Germany, so it is a different reward at a different price.
