October Drink & Draw at The Dallas Eagle: Locktoberween!
16-October-2025 • The Dallas Eagle • Dallas, TX
The Night in Brief
The Dallas Eagle’s October Drink & Draw brought the heat—three incredible models commanded the room while artists sketched Johnny and Wolfe in their sexy Halloween costumes, Eric proudly displayed his stunning steel Carrara chastity belt for Locktober, and his husband created mesmerizing rope bondage work right before our eyes. The whole night had that perfect mix of creative energy and playful kink that makes these events so damn special. If you weren’t there, you seriously missed out.
Featured Model Spotlight
Johnny
Johnny has posed for us before and he is one sexy boy.
Wolfe
Wolfe, a sexy man in his own right, last posed for us in October last year and brought his AMAZING Wolf costume again for our artists to draw.
Eric
Eric is new to modeling for our artists. But when I remembered he had this GORGEOUS steel chastity belt (AND he’d been wearing it all Month already!) I knew I had to include him in our model rotation. His husband also did some FANTASTIC rope bondage work on our models this month for a little extra kink!

Behind the Scenes
What makes Drink & Draw work is the community that shows up—artists of all skill levels settling in with their sketchpads, models who genuinely enjoy being part of the creative process, and everyone bringing this open, curious energy to the space. There’s real vulnerability and courage in showing up with a pencil and paper, whether you’re sketching for the first time or you’ve been drawing for years, and that’s something I see every single event. You don’t need to think of yourself as a talented artist to join us—just bring your curiosity and willingness to try. Every event teaches me something new about what people need from these gatherings: it’s not just about the drawing, it’s about creating a space where queer creativity, body positivity, and kink can all exist together without apology.
The philosophy behind Salon Naturale has always been simple: bring people together to celebrate the human form in all its diversity, and create opportunities for artists to practice life drawing in settings they won’t find anywhere else. The Dallas Eagle has been the perfect partner for this vision, giving us a venue that already understands that freedom and welcomes exactly the kind of uninhibited artistic expression we’re building. Whether it’s challenging poses, intricate bondage work, or just people connecting over shared creative energy, these events are about learning, growing, and honestly just having a good time while making art. That’s what keeps people coming back.
