Salutations encore, singes d'art!
Once again, we here at Dr. Sketchy's present a tribute to French theatre, because things from France are inherently better than things from other places. This especially holds true for excessively violent puppets. That's why we recently did a salute to Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol. For those of you who are under 70 and may not have had the chance to frequent the Grand Guignol, this was where shocking and melodramatic horror was performed. Its name comes from Guignol, a French puppet show based on the Italian commedia dell'arte, which… you know what? It takes too long to explain. We had puppets and knives and breasts. Deal with it.
For this session, Dante Posh took the role of Mr. Punch
Ladies and Gentlemen and Art Monkeys of all ages! Welcome to Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art Blog!
Last week, we were privileged to have an entire circus consisting entirely of the beautiful and supremely talented Dame Cuchifrita!
To warm up, we have a classic glove-removing act. Sad to say, glove removing has fallen out of vogue in recent years, and many fully trained glove removers are having trouble finding work.
Greetings, Art Monkeys!
Our latest chapter of our famous Art Star Series honouring people who actually make money doing art featured Neil Swaab, creator of Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles, the heart-worming story of a loveable, misanthropic, violent, substance abusing teddy bear. In tribute to his great work, we had Darlinda, Just Darlinda dress (and then undress) as Mr. Wiggles.
The posing began with Mr. Wiggles dressed as God, which obsessive fans will
Good day, Art Monkeys!
Recently, we had a very special session at the Roger Smith Hotel for the Social Media Art Camp (or SMArt Camp - you see, it's almost an acronym, except that the last letter is the whole word, but look! It spells "smart"!) Raquel Reed was the model and it was fancy and colourful and awesome and photographer Chloe Rice caught it all on film.
Here we
Hello, Art Monkeys!
Recently, the Olympic Games were held in our own continent, somewhere in the frozen northlands, and we held a session of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School to celebrate. Now, you may not know this, but despite our finely toned, perfectly proportioned and developed physiques, most of us behind Dr. Sketchy are not particularly sports fans or even entirely aware of what sports are or when and how they are played. However, we are huge fans of people in scant clothing bending in ways that God never intended. That is why we are really into Olympic gymnastics. Also yoga. And medieval torture devices.
So it was that we had contortionist Ekat bending away for us in our Olympic tribute.
Dr. Sketchy's came to the Museum of Modern Art on March 5th in a special workshop just for NYC high schoolers. The dazzling Dame Cuchifrita and Miss Southern Comfort posed for all the young artists, who drew some brilliant work alongside Molly Crabapple. We were joined by photographer Chloe Rice, who documented the event for us beautifully.
