Dr. Sketchy’s tonight! Sugar Ann Spice!

Last reminder!  Drawing!  Drinking!  Dames!

Photos from Viola Van Wilde’s Session!

That is easily my favorite photo.

Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque broke many hearts, pacemakers, and pencils on Monday, June 8th, which was our one-year anniversary session. Can you believe it’s been one year, that next Monday, June 22nd, will be the TWENTIETH session of Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore?

Mama-mia!

I hope you were there, because our sponsors Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books provided some SERIOUS prizes to win during the drawing contests. Fancy-pancy art books, steel portfolio cases, and shots were RAINING out of the skies! Super thanks to Viola Van Wilde, our sponsors, Dionysus, Jeff for taking photos, and Lindsay, Bill’s girlfriend, who came by on his birthday (yes, Bill shares his birthday with Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore) to judge a contest for us.

Anyway, photos!

Tell me that’s not a brave pose to hold.

Telling you folks, if you can, get there 15 minutes early to get a seat. We weren’t even able to sit down.

Our first contest was, of course, the “draw with your non-dominant” hand contest (for two shots, cause obviously you’re too damn sober if you’re able to win a contest while drawing with the wrong hand). The second, in honor of Bill’s birthday, was “What does Bill’s girlfriend Lindsay REALLY think goes on at Dr. Sketchy’s?”–judged by none other than Lindsay herself since she and Bill had stopped by even though he wasn’t supposed to.

Some of the entries were DIRTY. Please, please, please send them in. All we’ve got is this one pretty photo snapped by Jeff.

If you’ve got one of the sketches that made poor Lindsay gasp, PLEASE email them in.

Anyways…

Those have to be the craziest pasties ever. The third contest was “Where did Viola get the feathers for her pasties?” for one of the two Artist & Craftsman Supply portfolio cases.

Here are two sketches from Brian Dugan . . . the first one is his winning entry for this contest.

[Check out the rest of Brian's drawings from this session here. If I remember correctly, he's also the only one who sent us sketches from Viola's sesison in November, which you can see here. --Alexis]

Here are some sketches from other folks that aren’t contest related . . .

Some drawings from Athesdan . . .

…and some work from John Brewer . . .

… an unknown photo snapped by Jeff as he snuck around the tables with his camera…

Hmmm. Actually that one was probably from that contest too.

Oh, and here’s the lucky winner of the giant case from Artist & Craftsman Supply, which we determined by raffle….I don’t think she believed us at first…

The first 25 folks got a free comic from Atomic Books as well, and another lucky soul won the postcard book of Isabel Samara’s On Tender Hooks after proving their prowess with a pencil for the best incorporation of a pop icon.

Someone also won a copy of Gary Baseman’s My Hunger for Venison from our Baby Tattoo Books stash (top center)–we’ll be giving away another one of these books below on Monday….

And . . . I think that’s it?

Sugar Ann Spice this Monday, June 22nd, Dionysus, at 7 o’clock! Scroll down for info on her burlesque show at Ottobar on Saturday! Viola Van Wilde, if you’re reading this, I have an email from a lawyer that says you gave his poor client a stroke and we need to get in touch with you. Don’t call though, we think the phones are tapped.

Sugar Ann Spice this Monday!

Our next session is this coming Monday evening, June 22! The lovely Sugar Ann Spice will be braving DC-to-Baltimore traffic to pose for your drawing pleasure.  (And if you want to see her on Saturday, scroll down to see the info on Trixie Little’s Burlesque Bootcamp!)

We’ll be giving away more awesome stuff from Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books, so come join us for more drinks and drawing at Dionysus–8 E. Preston St. in Mt. Vernon, two blocks south of Penn Station. As always, drawing starts at 7 p.m., but get there early to get a good seat.

Special thanks to Viola van Wilde for yet another stellar job modeling for us last Monday! And thanks to all of you who came out to draw her–and especially to those of you who’ve already sent in your drawings to us. We’ve gotten sketches from a couple more people than we did when Viola modeled–that time, only one person sent in their sketches, which made our lovely model (and us!) kinda sad–but of course, we’d love to post a bunch of drawings up on the blog this week. So, scan in and email your drawings to us!

Trixie Little on Saturday! Katia’s art show!

(Alexis and I can’t make it because of a wedding, but if you don’t go to this, you’re just being silly. The line-up here is amazing. Sugar Ann Spice–our model for THIS MONDAY–will be performing, but not only that, Maria Bella and Paco Fish, both past models, will be too. )

Dreamscape, The Depot

(Katia has modeled for Dr. Sketchy’s twice and she’s currently having an art show at The Depot. Here’s the email she sent describing it.)

To all who have not had a chance to go see my Art Show at the Depot, there is only a week and a half left. So please take your time to go and take a look, I’m not sure when I’ll have the next solo show. The Depot is located at 1728 North Charles St., It’s a bar, so you have to go in the evening you can call them for hours of operation at (410) 528-0174 or to request a special viewing. I will be taking the paintings down probably on Wednesday the 25th or Thursday the 26th.

If you have any questions feel free to email me. Also I attached a flyer that I used for the opening, it’s not current, but gives you an idea of the art and has the address on there.

thanx

Katia

Viola Van Wilde tonight! Prizes!

Are you excited? We’re excited. It’s been waaaaay too long since the last Dr. Sketchy’s because of that whole Memorial Day conflict, but the wait is over, and not only is it over, it’s officially our one year anniversary!

We do NOT feel that old. It must be all that clean-living we’ve been doing.

Want a peek at the prizes tonight?

Look at these two beauties donated by Artist & Craftsman Supply to give away tonight. I’m figuring we’ll doing a drawing contest for one and draw names out of a hat for the other.

Not only that, but we’re also giving away Isabel Samara’s On Tender Hooks postcard book from Atomic Books….

….PLUS the first twenty-five people get a copy of the comic Mutant, an Atomic Books exclusive.

Last, but certainly not least, here’s the spread of the books Baby Tattoo Books sent us to give away over the next few months.

Great as all that is, nothing competes with Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque.

7 o’clock! Don’t be late . . . if I was going to guess, this one might sell out.

Viola Van Wilde this Monday, June 8th!

Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque will be posing for your illicit drawing pleasure…AND it’s our first one year anniversary!   We’ve got some absolutely amazing prizes this time around from our sponsors Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books!  And wait till you see the stuff!   (We’ll post some tease photos tomorrow, so you don’t think we’re lying to ya.
