Happy Belated Valentine's Day, Art Monkeys!
I'm sorry this letter didn't reach you until now, but I was spending my Valentine's Day with someone special - Raquel Reed! She was our model for our special Valentine's Day session with the reddest colour palette you have ever seen. Lauren Goldberg was there taking photographs that she has generously allowed me to share with you as a late Valentine's gift.
That is one rude lollipop!
Greetings, Sand-Freaks and Necro-Nerds!
I am still giddy from our last session, where we did a tribute to Neil Gaiman's great gift to graphic literature and serialized story-telling The Sandman. The titular Sandman was not represented (as he wasn't for the bulk of the comic, in fact), but we did have models channeling five of his siblings, the Endless - Death, Desire, Delirium, Destiny, and Destruction. I was Destiny. There is no photographic evidence of this, but if you flip a few pages back in Destiny's book, there is an account of me chaining a book to my wrist, then having to unchain it so that I could put my robe on, then chaining it back. As for the Endless that anyone cares about, Lauren Goldberg has provided pictures of
Greetings, Art Monkeys!
For those of you who, like me, have not yet bought a new calendar, I have some news for you: It's a new year! At least it is by the Gregorian calendar, or as we in the Western world call it, "The Only Calendar that Matters." We rang in the New Year the best way we knew how, with a Dr. Sketchy's session scant hours after New Years. Our model was Velocity Chyaldd, the noiresque, pseudoLynchian femme fetale. I say pseudoLynchian, because real Lynch features Kyle MacLachlan or at least Crispin Glover. I'm sorry, that's how I was raised. Justin Lussier, give me some of those photographs that you do so well.
In particular, we're looking for...
*male models who are handsome and muscular. Dudes who want to pose for us must have six packs. Dancers a plus. You must be comfortable posing with a woman, and make her feel comfortable as well
* drag queens
* more women of color
* people with serious physical skills. Circus performers, contortionists, gymnasts, ballerinas
* bodybuilders of all genders
Additionally, models must be reliable, able to hold a pose (much more boring/painful than it looks), and have a sense of humor and theatricality. We strongly prefer people with costumes and ideas about what sort of themes they'd like to explore, as well as people who have their own
G'journey, Art Monkeys! Where my other 'poccies at?
For those of you without access to a calendar, Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School came into existence just a little over five years ago. To celebrate our continued destruction of civilization, we hosted an apocalypse-themed session. This was possibly our biggest session ever, featuring more models than I can name, including Katelan Foisy, Amber Ray, Rogizoid, Nik Sin, Lillet St. Sunday, Kat Mon Dieu, Ariel Wolf, Lux Berlin, and the ones whose names I've forgotten! But you don't have to take my word for it. Justin Lussier took pictures.
