Dr. Sketchy’s is what happens when cabaret meets art school.
Join us at our new home at Volstead Lounge on east 6th street this Sunday for an evening of drinks, drawings & one fabulous dame: GoGo McGregor!
Dr. Sketchy’s is a life drawing class turned cabaret extravaganza. Artists draw glamorous underground performers, compete in contests, and win booze and prizes. From its humble Brooklyn beginnings, it’s spread to 100 cities on five continents- including London, Rome, Tokyo, Paris, Sao Paulo and Melbourne.
Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School – the premiere alternative drawing movement in Austin –
We did it! We brought Molly Crabapple's Reverse Mermaid to life during SXSW in Austin, Texas. Burlesque performers Crimson Skye (London) and Sassy De Lure (Seattle) modeled costume sculptures created by artist Aaron Flynn (Austin) and a pink wig by Coco Coquette. Artists at the session had the rare chance to sketch models wearing unique sculptures at the fabulous Swan Dive. Photos of the evening by
Dame Darcy--the brilliant comic book artist behind Meat Cake-- came to Austin with her band, Death by Doll. We hosted a very special session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School by outfitting our models as Meat Cake characters.
Agent Ribbons, Boosy Cray (featuring former members of the Blackstrap Molasses Family Travelin' Medicine Show) and Death By Doll rounded out the evening with musical performances after the drawing session.
