Hello, Art Monkeys!
I know that all of you were very sad this June since there were no Dr. Sketchy’s sessions (what with our home venue, the Slipper Room being closed for renovations and our not having yet moved into our new venue, the Parkside Lounge, at 317 Houston St., between Avenues B and C, which we will do tomorrow, July 10th), but Dr. Sketchy’s still holds special events from time to time, and in June we held one of our most special ever. It was The Art Monkeys’ Ball! A huge party in a huge venue! Lots of everything! Check it out!
Greetings, Art Monkeys!
As you are no doubt aware, the only things we here at Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School like better than pretty pictures of naked women are pretty naked women to draw pictures of. Unfortunately, certain local laws often prevent us from bringing you as much nudity as you truly deserve. However, recently, a very special super-secret session was held at an undisclosed location with Amber Ray as Marie Antoinette and Darenzia as… someone else. All of the parts that God would not have given women had he known of public indecency laws were in full view. I looked through Lauren Goldberg’s photos of the event to find pictures of the models that would be suitable to post on the blog’s front page. These are the best I found:
We recently had a VERY special Dr. Sketchy's session. I know that all of our sessions are special, but this one was extra-super-double-special. We had our tribute to dancer/actress/courtesan/international woman of mystery Lola Montez on her grave at Green-Wood Cemetery. Yes, it only seems right that since she is not capable of going to Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School should come to her.
Some may say that dancing on someone's grave is disrespectful, but Spider dancing I'm pretty sure is all right.
Hello, Art Monkeys!
You know what time it is - time for another entry in Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art Blog, and we have an extra special one today - an Art Star session, in tribute to Kenny Scharf. For those of you unfamiliar with his work, it's sort of like this:
except with more colour. So amidst pop art psychedlia, we had Sequinette posing. Join us, won't you, for a wild ride of life drawing.
Greetings, Art Monkeys and Art Monkey Sympathizers! If you're like me, you just checked the dictionary to see if I correctly used the term "sympathizer," and found out that it refers to an eye that develops inflamation due to injury to the other eye, which is almost precisely what I meant.
Recently, we had the second of our annual gatherings of Dr. Sketchy's organizers worldwide, or, for those of you who don't have time for all of these words, SketchyCon '10. The convention was a resounding success, and we have photographs to prove it.
Hey there, Art Monkeys!
At our last session, we had one of our Art Star tributes to Molly's ultrafamous artist friends. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of seeing Travis Louie's work yourself, he paints black-and-white portraits of unusual, bizarre, and sometimes even monstrous people, like this:
For our session, the incomparable Amber Ray and the incredible Dani of Body of Art simulated a portrait in flesh like this:
