Hi Hi Hi there Art Monkeys and Doodlebugs!
Apologies for not being a particularly prolific blogger since our last event! But we're here now, and we'd like to tell you that our last event was fabulous and we're all giddy and excited about the next one!
So, for those of you who are a little sketchy with the details of what exactly goes down at our events, here's a little recap of Wham! Glam! Thank you, Ma'am!
The Performances
The first of our three performers for our audiences illustrative pleasure (see what I did there...?) was the magical Miss Magenta Lust. She gave us a rendition of her fabulously flamboyant Pink Panther act.
Ladies, gentlemen and everyone inbetween!
Take a walk on the wild side and join your local sketchy scoundrels for a gender blending extravaganza! Drinking, drawing, dudes and dames!
The delectable Miss Candy AppleBottom and His-Hotness ¡Julio Juju! promise to sex up our stage and flirt with the fluidity of gender. They'll pose, perform and leave you pondering your preference.
So muster up your machoness and draw out your diva; get ready to translate their androgynous antics with pe(e)n or b(r)ush. It'll be a night of gender bending and sexy sketching!

YBCA presents Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School: San Francisco
Toulouse Lautrec is one of our favorite artists. He captured the bohemian side of Paris as well as the day to day life of women in the brothels. We will provide the French ingenue, and you can bring your sense of form, line and your inner voyeur.
