Dr. Sketchy's Knoxville's May session really brought out the bold, beautiful women with our "Beauty, Brains and Bruises" session featuring our local roller derby dames, THE HARD KNOX ROLLER GIRLS! This session features models from the HKRG: 6 beautiful, brainy and bruised power players that inspired the art monkeys to new heights in sketching madness. To match their intensity, we also featured performances celebrating the various elements of women-power. Here's a photo blog of our kick-ass session.
We kicked this session off in style with a

To say that the “Little Branch That Could”, Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is starting to thrive would be an understatement…we are really starting to find our groove and our regular art monkeys keep comin’ back for more. Better yet, we are always excited to see new faces in the crowd. This month we kicked our session into OVERDRIVE and celebrated with a ROCKABILLY CRUSH theme featuring performances and models from Knoxville’s White Lightnin’ Burlesque
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Knoxville made the decision that each year we'd offer a unique spin on the "holidays" by doing something non-traditional. This year, we put our collective heads together and the answer was simple, produce THE STEAMPUNK SIDESHOW, a variation on a solstice celebration; and thus the December 2011 DSK session was born (all photos are courtesy of the extremely talented Jason R. Scott of Knoxville).
The backdrop was the wonderful venue of Broadway Academy of Performing Arts and

Dr. Sketchy's Knoxville was pleased to present our third session, which will now take on an annual NOVEMBER tribute theme, in order to give thanks to a fellow artist who's inspired so many of us. Our first, tribute session was dedicated to the man from Baltimore, JOHN WATERS. Eager fans of the film genius showed up to celebrate the art and the unique perspective on life that this famed director, producer, actor and screenwriter have given us. All photos by Katie Ashdown.

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School: Knoxville Branch held it's second session at the URBhana Life Center in downtown Knoxville which is blessedly the home of Dragonfly Aerial Arts Studio: founded and maintained by 5 of the most dedicated and passionate collection of trapeze and silks and other cirque-related skills folk we've met in our scruffy lil' city. We were also blessed to have two of their students as our models and performers for our exciting October session entitled "Fright or Flight"!
To say that Dr. Sketchy's Knoxville (DSK), had an opening session on Sunday, September 18th, 2011 that was a rousing success would be understated. It was INCREDIBLE. Purposely held as a "soft open" session with social network marketing only; we aimed to produce an event that met with the expectations of our attendees, performers and venue, and use it as an opportunity to get our flow "just right" before we unleash our fancy fury all over Knoxville.
