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. We went ahead with the much anticipated Dr. Sketchy's debut of Harlow Lestrange in 'Date Night Jitters'. Our new hosts for the evening were the fabulous and hospitable folk at the Canterbury Bowling Club.
The mesmerising Harlow Lestrange starred in our voyeuristic take on date night primping and preening.
THE SKETCHY GIRLS ARE BACK! WE'RE GOING AHEAD WITH "DATE NIGHT JITTERS" WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED IN FEBRUARY BUT SADLY POSTPONED. PLEASE NOTE WE'VE GOT A NEW LOCATION THIS MONTH: THE CANTERBURY BOWLING CLUB.
Harlow Lestrange stars in DATE NIGHT JITTERS.
Harlow's getting ready for a hot first date! But before such a highly anticipated night, she's got to get herself looking her best. She's got butterflies in her stomach, curlers in her hair, and a fresh coat of polish on her nails. Come along and sketch the primping, preening and preparation.
She'll umm and ahh over outfits and shake off those nerves with a performance or two.
As for you? We recommend you come dressed to impress! Don

It's been just over two months since our city was hit by a devastating earthquake. Although smaller in magnitude than our 2010 quake, the 22 February 2011 6.3 magnitude earthquake was more damaging and deadly. The shallowness and and proximity of the epicenter meant the intensity and violence of the ground shaking was amongst the strongest ever recorded globally in an urban area.
This tragedy has taken lives, homes and livelihoods. Our once beautiful city is a shambles, with many areas still cordoned off and will be for months to come.
The Christchurch branch of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School has naturally been on hold. Each of us has taken the time to put in whatever efforts we can, and to grieve, repair and regroup.
We're most definitely committed to getting back up and running. Slowly there has been a build up of
