SD Leather Art Club is an inclusive, queer leather themed drawing group founded by Mr. San Diego Leather 2026, Sal Leon. The club was created to bring artists, leatherfolk, and community members together through creativity, conversation, and figure drawing. The atmosphere is intentionally relaxed and social, more community gathering than formal art class. We provide the basics. Sharpies, pencils, construction paper and mat boards to draw on. People can bring whatever medium they feel comfortable with as long as they are respectful of the space and can maintain a clean working area. A simple set up is best since we do encourage moving around during the session.
Each session features a local artist presentation followed by figure drawing, and a few fun raffle prizes.
Featured Artist Presenter: Damion (@DamionRyura/@House_Of_Ryura) This month’s featured presenter brings a gothic, vampire edge to the art club 🖤 Damion, creator of House of Ryura, is an artist and fashion designer inspired by individuality and unity. Their designs blend bold silhouettes, dramatic details, and a distinctive goth aesthetic. Rather than following trends, Damion creates garments around the person wearing them.
Come hear about their creative process and the world of House of Ryura!
