We had plenty of tricks up our sleeve for our halloween session, and The Purple Rose provided the treats! She made a special trip from the far shores of Wellington to maker her Dr. Sketchy's debut. MC Rosie Reckless played host to our motley crew and kept things heading in the right vein.
Our art monkeys turned up in their undead best - what a dapper pair!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Bogeymen and Ghouls!
The time has come to caper out of your crypts and get to boogying. We're doing the Mash, doing the Monster Mash.… It'll be a graveyard smash!
This is a crash corpse in life drawing, with drinking, diabolical games and dames. Bring your own drawing implements and stake your claim for some rewarding treats (or tricks?). Summon your inner monster and join our menagerie of beasts and creepy crawlies.
She's sexy, spooky, and oh, so kooky! Our leading lady, The Purple
Our much anticipated Gender Blender theme was just the right mix of sugar and spice. Gender constructs were flouted and transgression was the order of the day! Art monkeys happily took a walk on the wild side - our audience was awash with fabulous facial hair, frocks and socks in all sorts of places. Miss Candy AppleBottom and the dashing Julio Juju made their joined debut on the sketchy stage, to the delight of us all.
Ladies, gentlemen and everyone inbetween!
Take a walk on the wild side and join your local sketchy scoundrels for a gender blending extravaganza! Drinking, drawing, dudes and dames!
The delectable Miss Candy AppleBottom and His-Hotness ¡Julio Juju! promise to sex up our stage and flirt with the fluidity of gender. They'll pose, perform and leave you pondering your preference.
So muster up your machoness and draw out your diva; get ready to translate their androgynous antics with pe(e)n or b(r)ush. It'll be a night of gender bending and sexy sketching!

Our literary themed session was a best seller, with art monkeys and literary buffs alike clamouring to see Brigitte de Brief take up the mantle of Sketchy muse. It was a night of prose, pose and pervalicious poetry that is definitely one for the books!
Brigitte de Brief, in whiskey-swigging-author-attire, had us hooked from the word go! We couldn't wait for her story to undress.. I mean, unfold.
Calling all cunning linguists,
The Christchurch chapter of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School present an evening of life drawing laced with literature. It's a night of bookish burlesque that's bound to get bawdy.
Brigitte de Brief stars as our prolific poet, producing prose after pose. She'll flash us some fiction and we'll inscribe her character in our sketchbooks.
Your hosts for the evening are well known authwhores Tawdry Trainwreck and Rose (by any other name would smell as sweet) Reckless.
Local performance poet, Kimberly Holmes, will steam up your reading glasses with
