By Mike Caprio, who gave us no bio.      A party of seven wandered across a trackless, endless desert. Their minds wore thin, as thirst and heat punished their bodies. There was no hope, no oasis of safety waiting over the next dune. Soon they began sharing their hallucinations... and somehow they were all fighting over slices of a lime, sucking on the

In celebration of Dr. Sketchy’s fifth anniversary on December 11, 2010, and in anticipation of the ensuing world’s end, writers are submitting apocalyptic prose. Today’s offering comes from Brice Stratford, a London-based disgraced dandy and rural landed gentry; a liar, fighter, actor, and writer. Mr. Stratford spends his days writing films nobody wants to make and stories nobody wants to read, then getting paid to hit people with swords; he fancies himself “Orson Welles meets Oliver Reed, by way of Gomez Addams.”      And so it came to pass.      The fifth sun has been swallowed by wolves, four horsemen are charging through a scorched sky, planes are dropping, meteors striking, zombies crawling, and the great God

Greetings, art monkeys!

Last week, the King Con was held at the Brooklyn Lyceum and Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School was there! Posing for us, we had our good friend Paige Pumphrey (Paigey, as her friends call her), and our mutual friend Christy Sawyer took pictures.

Here we see the STARS of the session! Because "star" means "featured performer," but it's also the shape that's over her -- oh, you got it? Good.

BURNINGdAN Spinning fire at Molly Crabapple's Dr. Sketchys Flashmob @Art Basel Miami 2k9 from Ronen on Vimeo.

In 2009, Dr. Sketchy's did a flashmob at Art Basel. We had Nik Sin and Dante Posh and glittering girls from South Florida's burlesque scene. We also had Burning Dan spinning fire. Dan died last month. We was a profoundly kind, decent dude who egged you on to grand adventure, who was always up for creating art and magic. Our mutual friend Ronen V created this beautiful video. Rest in peace Dan.

Greetings, Art Monkeys!

For those of you who don't recognize the above painting, it is called "La Grande Odalisque," it was painted by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and it was the inspiration for the costumes of our latest session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. You may be thinking, "But she isn't wearing any costume! In fact, she isn't wearing anything at all!" Precisely! Following this example, our lovely models Rogizoid and Madame Rosebud posed wearing as little as this odalisque. Justin Lussier documented the whole thing with photographs.

¡Bienvenido, monos de arte!

Last week was our tribute to spicy Latina spitfire Frida Kahlo. You know, Frida Kahlo is one of those costumes that you can really pull off with only one accessory (the one between her eyes and her forehead), so it was nice to see the effort that went into truly capturing the spirit of Mexican culture and Kahlo's work in particular the way only white children of the suburbs like us can. As a sidenote, after writing that sentence, I did some research into her ethnic background and found out that Frida Kahlo was of German-Jewish ancestry as much as Mexican, so from an ethnic standpoint, we were actually much closer than I thought when I started writing this blog entry. And channeling that spirit was the ravishing Katelan
