We're having our EIGHTH birthday on June 13th with the incomparable Cherie Sweetbottom!

Eight years ago, on what was one of the hottest days that summer, we had the first session of Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore in the small dining room of one of our favorite bars. Nine people showed up to draw, four of which were friends, and another friend modeled, despite injuring her ankle the day before. A year later, we outgrew our original venue and moved to the Windup Space, where we've been attracting dozens of artists each month. And we've

Next Dr. Sketchy's is Monday, March 14th with Mourna Handful of Gilded Lily Burlesque! Oh, spring is finally in the air—the weeds are blooming, the gutters are unfreezing, and the streets are filling with folks calling out sick. A new season is upon us, and sure, we're all a little older and Death's scythe is a little sharper, but it's no longer as cold as a warlock's whatsit outside and Mourna Handful is on deck for all those lonely sketch pads who've spent the winter huddled together for warmth—so come out of hibernation, have a fancy

Next Dr. Sketchy's is Monday, February 8th with an Italian-themed life drawing session featuring "Baltimore's Sicilian Queen", Maria Bella of Gilded Lily Burlesque! The last time Maria posed for us, way back in the ride-a-dinosaur-to-work days of 2014, was one of our all-time favorite sessions. Take a look—BTW, keep an eye out for one of the best drawings of feet I've ever seen someone do at a session. Maria has a whole stocking full of new stuff for y'all this time around—this is going to be a good'un. Maria's sessions are always some of the best we have. Here's a bit of Maria's bio. *************** "Baltimore's Sicilian Queen",

The first Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore of 2016 is Monday, January 11th with Hot Todd Lincoln! Break out your sketch pads because it's a brand new year and we got a whole truck load of new stuff on the docket for your life drawing needs—starting with Hot Todd Lincoln! If you've been bending an elbow late at night in Baltimore and DC's burlesque and sideshow scene, Todd should need no introduction—he's been emceeing shows, lying on nails, wiggling out of straitjackets, cajoling folks into breaking cinder blocks across him, and performing in one way or another for about five years now. Now, I might have heard he swore he'd never model for Dr.
