Greetings, Art Monkeys!
If you have no time for geeky bullshit, you may be unaware that Detective Comics is undergoing a "reboot," overhauling their classic characters with a fresh edge for the 90's. Wait what decade is it again? Ah, close enough. Anyway, in the deplorable Suicide Squad #1, we saw the new Juggalo-styled Harley Quinn and felt kind of queasy. How refreshing, then, that at the last session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, Lucy Sky Diamond, Tasmania's Bonfire on Legs, came dressed as a Pierrette doll, and showed everyone how to do a gender-flipped Commedia Dell'Arte character right. The marvelous Kate Black took photographs.
Hey, Art Wookies!
Do you remember that scene in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where Leia is captured by Jabba the Hutt and he keeps her on a chain in a metal bikini? Yes you do! Don't even try to lie to me! It's a perfectly normal and natural part of every nerd's sexual development and is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, to make a long story short, Leia strangles Jabba to death with the chain so instead of being chained to a bloated slug monster, she's chained to the corpse of a bloated slug monster until R2D2 cuts her free and she makes her escape. But then what happened? The next time we see her, she's aboard the Millenium Falcon. So what happened on the way from Jabba's lair to the Millenium Falcon? I
Hello again, Art Monkeys!
In case you missed last month's com-fucking-pletely epic salute to American politics with Tony Apollo as Sarah Palin and Chicava Honey as Barack Obama, you need no longer despair, for our own videographer Keith Jenson captured the whole thing on video. It 's got it all - a flaming wolf's head bra, the president in lingerie, a moose, a wolf's head bra - it's so American I can hardly stand it! Check it out:

And don't forget to join us again in September for our glorious return!
Happy belated birthday to America, George M. Cohan, Franz Kafka, and me!
Earlier this month, our nation had its Independence Day, and we at Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School celebrated with a session featuring Tony Apollo as Sarah Palin and Chicava HoneyChild as Barack Obama. This presents a challenge for me, since Obama is not particularly funny, and, after 3 years, I have kind of run low on humourous observations about Sarah Palin and her vestigial brain. So, in the interest of environmentalism, I will be recycling jokes. To accompany Kate Black's photographs of the event, I will be including Polish jokes that I have reworked to be relevant and topical in today's political climate. For instance:
Why doesn't Sarah Palin use a
Velcome, Art Monkeys!
In Slavic folklore, as we all know, a vampire (or "vampir," or "varkolak" if you're Bulgarian, or "vampyre" if you're bad at spelling) is a malevolent spirit of the restless dead that feeds off of the living. Though noncorporeal, vampires can inhabit the bodies of corpses. In the 19th century, vampires found that they could gain the trust of humans by disguising themselves as European noblemen such as Lord Byron or Prince Vladislaus Dracula III. They were so successful in garnering the esteem of the living that by the 21st century, vampires were able to convince teenage girls that they were their true loves, despite treating them like dirt and constantly talking about wanting to kill and devour them.
Good day, Art Monkeys!
At our last session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, we had as our models Agent Cleave and Jess Daly, who came to us all the way from Melbourne - a mysterious place on the other side of the globe whose name I have been told I'm mispronouncing. They were accompanied by simply the cutest accents. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of photography, their accents cannot be represented in this blog entry. Fortunately, photographer Kate Black was able to capture what the models looked like, which was pretty great in itself.
