For August's session, Dr. Arthur Wainwright and our own headmistress, Tawdry Trainwreck, took to the stage to unravel the gooey beginnings of our world and hatch a new theory of (d)evolution.

Rosie Reckless was on hand, ready to order our art monkeys to DRAWWR! when the time arose.

MC Hells Belle narrated the first half of the night from Dr. Wainwright's absurd thesis.

It was a night of drinking, drawing, dorks and dweebs as Dr Sketchy's once again descended upon the local Bowling Club for a theme very close to our hearts – Talk Nerdy to Me.

It was a very happy reunion between the Sketchy Girls and Art Monkeys of Christchurch. We'd been on hold for a few months – plotting, planning and venue hunting in our quakey ol' town.
