2 of my favourite photos from my editorial shoot, the concept and makeup was done by me, it was inspired by club kids and the new wave of alien inspired makeup.

Scott ‘sussi’ Sussman is a drag artist/performer from New York. He became popular on Instagram with his extravagant, flamboyant looks in and around the nightclub scene.

‘I used to be a painter and visual artist but I would rather it have  a breathing vessel to attach itself to rather than a boring old canvas. Its all about the full fantasy; drag is an immersive experience that involves everyone in the room.’ – Sussi’s interview with Storm magazine

I am particularly interested in Sussi as a character because of everything that he represents, I am still trying to find my own creative makeup style, however, I am keen to explore gender boundaries in the fashion and makeup industry, pushing the limits of what is socially accepted and experimenting with colours and textures.

I started researching club kids and drag makeup when I came across this mini documentary made by Charles Jeffrey, where he went to New York to meet different drag artists and people involved in the queer club scene, when he met Sussi, a drag artist living in New York who I am keen to research more into.
