Looking for an early start to gay halloween? 👀

Join us @loov_the THIS FRIDAY for Halloween Queer Figure Drawing!!! The two figure drawing divas of somerville @bostonfigurecenter ➕ @lifedrawingboston join houses for one epic night of queer community - We have drawing welcome to ALL levels (from hobbyists to picassos), some AMAZING vendors (@tsjhave, @julpointy, @martymartinage, @thebutteredtable, @francescanater) a free form community modeling structure (nudity optional, costumes encouraged), and an amazing performance from THEE hot spooky horror king of PVD - @buckthorn.drag ! So so happy to welcome him back for this night 🤩 make sure to bring some CASH 💰 so he can SLASH 🔪 your throat 🥰 in a consenting way ofc:

Buckthorn is an incubus drag king with a love for everything bloody and monstrous. Using his skills in costuming, acrobatics, and theatrics in the most grotesque ways possible, Buckthorn is always pulling out something to make your mouth water and your skin crawl.

I'm so glad to be collabing with @queerfiguredrawingboston - take a look at some of the drawings from our session in september! I can't wait to see some of the duo and trio poses we'll get at the event 🥰 Model slots will be 2, 5, and 10 mins long with sign ups starting right at 7pm! people NOT running on gay time you'll definitely be able to model. everyone else....good luck babe 💋

Getting excited for the 23rd! Although the majority of the event will be drawing time, we are so lucky to have gotten Buckthorn for a drag performance.

Buckthorn is an incubus drag king with a love for everything bloody and monstrous. Using his skills in costuming, acrobatics, and theatrics in the most grotesque ways possible, Buckthorn is always pulling out something to make your mouth water and your skin crawl.

DESI DRAWING NIGHT IS BACCCCK!!!! 🪭 🌈 🪷

and this time....ITS DRAGGHHH!

I'm so excited to announce a SECOND Desi Drawing night with @lifedrawingboston - BUT! It's gay! it's queer! it's DESI DRAG PORTRAITURE W @therajkirani ‼️❤️‍🔥🥳

so grateful for @lawhorevagistan for connecting me with Raj - They're going to show a few ways of styling some fire desi garments for some shorter- & mid-length poses. Check out their looks - It's going to be an awesome afternoon!

This is also an epic collab of my two artistic loves (life drawing + the theatre) with one of my favorite ever theatre orgs, @chuangstage !!! EEEEE!

CHUANG Stage is constantly setting the bar for what theatre is and what it means in community, especially as the only AAPI specific professional theatre company in Boston. I was so lucky to get to work with them as an actor a while back, and am so glad they wanted to collab we me as apart of their community programming!! This is for their latest production, "The Sitayana (or, How to Make an Exit)" a contemporary, feminist retelling of The Ramayana.

CHUANG has community events for every. single. one. of their shows. EVERY SINGLE ONE! they are crrrrazy for that. They operate on a pay-as-you-are ticket scale which starts at literally $0 - making theater accessible for people of all backgrounds. i really like them shhh

Because of this...the event is also FREEE!!!! YAYYYY!! You don't have to purchase a ticket to the show to join for the drawing - It will start at 3:30pm after the matinee at 2pm - come for the drawing first and see the night show, or come to the afternoon and we'll draw afterwards!! Yummy snacks and simple supplies provided as always with LDB & CS events.

If you missed our last desi drawing, you don't wanna miss this! Happening at the BCA Black Box Theater on October 24th, starting at 3:30pm. Life drawing folks who havent seen theatre, let this be your intro - you wont regret it!

SEE YOU THEREEEEEE ✨❣️

LIFE DRAWINGS [September 2026]

September and October are my favorite times of the year. The heat of the summer is finally gone. The harvest has begun. The world transforms into this beautiful array of oranges and reds. What a brilliant time to be alive.

Keeping the dream going at my favorite drawing spaces in Boston. A collection of drawings from events at @lifedrawingboston and @bostonfigurecenter . Thank you to all the amazing people that keep these places running. I appreciate each and every one of you.

This world might be a crazy place, but I am grateful to have all of you crazy people in my life. 🤍🦊☕️

Aeris Carter @aeriscarter and Ian B @residentianvil as Claire and Chris Redfield from RESIDENT EVIL. @lifedrawingboston

it was great to see Aeris and Ian pose in their handmade costumes from the Resident Evil games, and learn just a little bit more about the lore.

I took some inspiration from a picture by Zach @zach.b.young as I drew that giant skull. As for the moon... it always had tentacles, right?

40 and 20 minutes, charcoal and white highlights on @strathmoreart grey toned paper.

REJOICE FOR SPOOKY SEASON!! 🎃 👻 🥀

You know as an Oct baby I love all things spooky...and no one does that better than the Victorians (except maybe the Ancient Egyptians, well put a pin in that) so I'm suuuuper excited to have one of our most nichely knowledgeable HPN models (& author/researcher/salem local/tour guide/historic interpreter/PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR) yet: @ghostsbooksandcats !! I was giddy when she told me about her background in this, and I can't wait for her to share her wealth of knowledge with you all!!! She's also so funny and clever, it is going to be an awesome night!

Also..... this is on MY BIRTHDAYYY 🎂 🎈 SO YOU BETTER COME!!! If you haven't gotten to one yet, this is the one I wanna see you at. Wear something spooky, bring a lil treat (if you love me), come thinking about your dearly departed ancestors, and get ready to learn some awesome spooky history 🖤

(Also get ready for us to talk a lot of shit about the W@rren M*seum.....)

This Historic Portrait Night is happening at @lifedrawingboston 72 Joy St Somerville, 6:30-9:30, right off the east somerville green line stop!
