As part of Culture Night 2010, The Bad Art Gallery on Francis Street invited Dr. Sketchy’s Dublin along to host a series of mini sessions through-out the night! Culture Night is an annual event run by The Temple Bar Cultural Trust which sees galleries and museums all across the city opening their doors and running free events from 5pm until midnight for one night only.
We were really excited to re-package the Dr. Sketchy’s experience for a drop-in event of this kind. As the footfall would be quite high, we needed to make the sessions short and snappy! We turned our usual 3 hour sessions into snack-size 30 minute sessions, but keeping our usual mix of gorgeous models, prizes and music.
While we love the Mezz in The Twisted Pepper – our original home, we were very happy to gain a bit of elbow room and make the move to The Main Stage Room for September’s Dr. Sketchy’s session. I arrived to the venue to see our two models, Dixie and Fizz head to toe kitted out like 80s Glam Rock stars (if any of you remember the cartoon Jem – they gave The Misfits a run for their money!) HUGE hair, tight pants, lots of accessories and heaps of attitude!!
I jumped on the decks and started playing some suitable tunes to keep with the theme, we had everything from Bon Jovi, ACDC, Poison and Motley Crue to some modern tracks from the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and Spinnerette. Having lost my voice shouting
Dr. Sketchy's San Jose showed up to the student galleries opening receptions yesterday to promote our Ultra Violence session next week. We handed out lots of flyers and introduced several art students to the Anti Art School!
Special thanks to our model Theresa Tatter Wings and MC Drew Clark!
