Summer is over, and now it's time for apple-cheeked youngsters to learn how to sit still and not fail too badly! Time for that amusing Staples commerical to return! Time for fresh promises of a new year to be crushed under the wheels of fate! it's time to go back to school!
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, that is.
I know we're the "cool" school, but we're still a place of learning! And you will treat that with a certian measure of *respect*. Now lets all simmer down and act our age and give a *respectful* welcome to your new teacher, Akynos!
I bet she grades on a curve.
Akynos, who is more force of nature than mere woman, deemed to teach us some harsh lessons in the art of amazing
Due to transboral electronic currents and the alignment of several clotting factors, this Re-Cap is late. I know, all was sadness and woe, but now comes the divine light! Can I get an Amen For the acrobatic beauties of Gravity Plays Favorites?!
Testify! It was a vision of Heaven and Hell last week, as the Gravity duo played out complex metaphysical arguments with pasties and glitter.
It's about the nature of Sin. Or Free will. Or something. Just go with it.

It's a steamy Saturday afternoon in New York City. Down West Broadway comes a horde of half-naked dancers, women strapped to balloons, donut eating cavemen, gigantic floating drag queen heads, dancing dynamite sticks, and screaming black clad revolutionaries.
A psychotic break? An ether-induced delusion? Nay, it's the Deitch Art Parade and Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art was there.

Mein Lieblings! Madams und mein Hierrs! Willkomen, Bienvenue, and welcome to ze Dr. Sketchy's Re-cap!

And now, two ladies!
Gal Friday!

Jac Bowie with the new Dr. Sketchy: SYDNEY website! it's all slick and shiny!
