Hello Art Monkeys!
We are enjoying an unnaturally warm winter here in NYC, so this Dr. Sketchy's was hot indeed. Our first male models, Ian and Gavin, did acrobatics on stage as Lion and Tamer, delighting and amazing the crowd with thier liberal interpretation of "Whip it".
But again, why say so much when we have so much to see? This month's (many) photos come from the talented camera of Dr. Simon, who braved the 1-9 train to be here.
Our Hosts,Ms. Molly Crabapple and Ms. A.V Phibes, explaining the rules of Dr. Sketchy's and what happens to the unfortunate souls who don't tip the models
Here they are again, in more "ready for press release" poses.
As before, we started off with fast 1 and 2 mintue poses.
Hello Art Monkeys!Nor wind nor rain or dark of afternoon could keep us from having another Dr. Sketchy's! Outside it may be winter, but we made the Lucky Cat hot hot hot. Decked in jewels and white feathers, Ms. Amber Ray presided over Dr. Sketchy's like a queen. We moved the time to 3pm, which led to more people, more contests, more drinking, and much more fun.Enough talk, what good are words when we have so many pretty pictures?
Ms. Amber Ray holding court over the lowly Art Monkeys. Same format as before, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 mintue poses.
All our reserved seats sold out, and people spilled out onto the floor. Ms. Ray was posing to Iggy Pop's "Sister Midnight." Sandman fans know what I'm talkin'
Hello Art Monkeys!
The first Dr. Sketchy's Session went off without a hitch. Contests won, drinks drunk, good times and cheer had by all.
What? you don;t know what Dr. Sketchy's is? The devil you say!
Dr. Sketchy's is the bohemian art world you wished you got back in Art School. Every month, Molly Crabapple and A.V Phibes take over the luscious Lucky Cat in Williamsburg and fill it with burlesque beauties posing for the drawing pleasure of art monkeys. The artists compete for fabulous prizes, rnaging from Gift certificates to a shot of Sambuca. December's Star was the lovely Dottie Lux, clowning her way into our hearts and sketchbooks.
But enough talking. A picture is worth a thousand words and Gary Winter's photos are mouthfuls.
