Mad Max: Into the Rollerdome

Coming June 12th to a bar near you.

An action packed evening of postapocalyptic perversion will see our very own Mad Max spinning her wheels. Brigitte de Brief will star in this shocking showdown, and she’s bound to get our motors revving as she rolls.

Come rain or shine, our fourth birthday celebrations at Smash Palace will be presided over by Aunty Reckless – the bar will be full of bartertown bikers with their methane madness. So ready your own lashings of leather for a night of dystopian drawing that you won’t forget.

This is a life drawing class like no other. Drinking, Drawing, and Gulag!

Don’t be an extra! Dress to draw attention – chaffing and chains will be rewarded.

It may be our birthday, but we’ve got a present for you. No tickets are required for this event, just bring your own weapons of crass construction and a cash donation to fuel the model.

We may not be civilised, but our sponsors are. With thanks to Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies, C1 Espresso and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

Rated R. First pose at 7.00pm. Wrap up warm for the desolation – our mad model won’t be.

Special thanks to Aggie Palmer for the illustration!

Good Golly, are you Miss Dolly?

Rack up points in 'The Great Dolly Parton Look-Alike Contest’ with your Nashville twang. We all know blondes have more fun, so Dr Sketchy’s is giving you the chance to don your own Dolly-Do. Wearing more rhinestones than you can shake your chest at, Little Miss Cinnamon will be defending her look-alike crown with a dose of crooning and swooning. So drag on a dress for a night in Dollywood!

This is a life drawing class like no other. Drinking, drawing and drawling.

It was a night for all Whovians, the legendary tardis landed on Dr. Sketchy's stage for this episode. We were treated to two performers in this double billing – the marvellous Purple Rose and the fantastic Mr. Heaphy.

These sketchy time lords provided the tonic for our art monkey's winter blues and intergalactic woes.

Drinking, drawing and daleks!

We're suckers for sci-fi!

Deviant dalek distracts from posing.

For Mr. Heaphy's performance, the tardis descended and an altercation with yet another devlish dalek followed. There was some super-human skills exhibited, and lots of laughs!

When the first Doctor regenerated, there was a moment's confusion, where we had two versions of our dear doctor sharing the stage. Now we all know that you have two options when you meet your doppleganger....

We explored them both...

Things got a little wibbly wobbly timey wimey towards the end...

Illustrate, intoxicate, inseminate, masterbate, dominate, gyrate.... all verbs were carried out with relish!

Our sponsors are our favourite companions – Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

Our Biker Babes pop up sketchy's was a rev-roaring success. Art monkeys filled the bus at Smash Palace and proceeded to sketch up a storm as Tawdry and Juju posed with sneers, snarls and sass.

Our ar(s)tsy antics were met with much interest and admiration from those less accustomed to our escapades

All aboard the babe bus! Art monkeys packed the bus for a tootin' good time.

Rosie Reckless fronted our gang of biker babes and made sure the night was conducted with due rowdiness.

Bikes, Beer, Babes and Bad Attitudes.

Safety first! Close quarters led to some unusual poses and interesting angles.

There were biker babes of the bearded variety at the bar on the night. Juju and Tawdry made use of a couple of bike night regulars from the Quake City Rumblers  as posing props.

There was always going to be plenty of cheek from these gals!

Tawdry showed us all one of her hidden talents - levit(it)ation!

The audience was truly captivated by Juju!

For our final poses we spilled outside and took over the bar! Art monkeys lined the decking to sketch our brave models in the autumnal air.

The bar staff made sure there were some hotties for our, er... hotties post-posing.With their second winter on the way, Smash Palace have stocked up on hot water bottles, blankets and outdoor heaters, as well as their famous mulled cider to banish the winter blues.

The long arm of the law stopped by to make sure we were keeping our scandalous antics legal. Being both badass AND smokin' hot is probably illegal somewhere, but not in our town (yet).

We really enjoyed being reunited with Johnny and the crew from Smash Palace; it brought back memoriesof old times at Goodbye Blue Monday and reminded us of how far we've come since the early days! Our presence at the bar garnered a lot of interest and excitement from those unfamiliar with Dr. Sketchy's - we'll be expecting a few new faces at our next event.

As always, our sponsors have been key in keeping us supported with goodies! Many thanks to Absolution Tatto and Pierce, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris art supplies and our international sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

RUB-A-DUB-DUB, with Willow Noir in the tub!

We're used to getting into hot water, but now it's time to clean up our act. For this Sketchy session we'll be working up a lather with the help of the fabulous Willow Noir. Splish, splash, she'll be taking a bath – and we'll get to sketch her… and shower her with applause.

This is a life drawing class like no other… Drinking, drawing and squeaky clean women *cough cough*.

Pack your rubber duckies and bring a towel - it's going to be a loofah minute!

Bring your own drawing materials (wet and dry media welcome!)

Our sponsors are so fresh and so clean! Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

This show is scrubbing up to be a sell out, so head in to a Cosmic store (Re:Start Mall or The Palms) to get yourself a ticket. Or buy online from Cosmic Ticketing.

R18. Strictly no entry prior to 6.30pm, First pose at 7.30pm. Be early for the best seats!
Canterbury Bowling Club - 109 Salisbury Street, with entry via Gracefield Ave.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines… and join us for a very special Dr. Sketchy's session. It's a night of drinking and drawing, onboard the bus at Smash Palace.

Tawdry and Juju will be our models, muses and bad influences. It's 'Bike Night' at Smash Palace but these rebels are taking their tassels aboard the bus. Toot toot! There'll be plenty of cheek with these foxy floozies about!

They'll strut their stuff down the aisle of the bus, on top of the tables and in your face. Be prepared for a very different sketchy experience. You'll get to draw from many different angles but you may need to move around, perhaps to give up your seat for our biker babes.

For this Sketchy's, no pre-sale tickets are required, but please bring a suggested donation of $5 to fuel your local sketchy girls.

Sketching begins at 7pm. Bring your own art supplies, but this time keep them simple as we may move about. Inks and paints may be prone to spilling once we get rolling.

Our sponsors spin our wheels: Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art & Graphic Store, and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sketchy girls got down and dirty for our Wrestlemania session. In the battle for the Championship garter-belt, no punches were pulled - we had hard hitting professional posers at work! MC Randy Rosie Savage was in fine form - wrangling our gorgeous grapplers and keeping our ringside art monkeys in line.

Our models went head to head in the battle of the booty. The beautiful Brigitte de Brief made a welcome return to the stage as the formidable Undie-Taker!

Our  heathenly headmistress, Tawdry Trainwreck, masqueraded as The Bushwhacker.

Smack down came at an unexpected moment - Tawdry's down trou'ing of The Undie-Taker could not go unpunished!

UNMASKED!

UNCINCHED!

The infamous Tassel-attack proved futile against the Undie-Taker's superior technique...

EXPOSED!

Down trou'd and all out.

Back for another round of wr-ASS-lin'

Our beautiful brawlers in a comfy headlock

The best dressed award went to the Crotch Crusher - with her custom made cape and villainous sneer!

And then there was jelly. A suprise treat for Tawdry our art monkeys, we revealed it's full glory in the second half of the night. Our sultry scrappers got...slimy.

Suffice to say: jelly was the winner on the night....

Our mighty muses threw in the towel and made up for the final pose; united in stickiness and sweat.

It was a night of unexpected absurdity and plenty of awesome. Our sponsors provided sweet (and thankfully unsullied by jelly) prizes for our punters - many thanks to Absolution Tattoo and Pierce, Madame Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies and our international sponsor Baby Tattoo Books!

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School proudly presents Sketch and Shimmy. It's a night of drinking and drawing … with dancing dames!

Nova and Aaralyn of TribalDiva sway their way onto the sketchy stage. They'll perform a blend of tribal and fusion belly dancing. It promises to be one hafla night!

Bring along your own art supplies to capture the beautiful lines and movements of these talented performers, and their stunning, sumptuous costumes.

Our sponsors go to the beat of their own drum! Absolution Pierce and Tattoo, Madam Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique, Gordon Harris Art Supplies and international sketchy sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.
