Since 2005, Dr. Sketchy's has been the name in alternative drawing. From illegal flashmobs to the Museum of Modern Art, Dr. Sketchy's has brought artists a rule-breaking cocktail of dames, drinking and drawing. Dr. Sketchy's branches draw in over a hundred cities around the globe, from Akron to Zagreb. Whether you're an artstar or a scribbling newbie, Dr. Sketchy's is the perfect place to get your fill of life-drawing
Dr. Sketchy's is the brainchild of artist Molly Crabapple
This website is the official site for all licensed Dr. Sketchy's branches. If you hear of a branch, but they do not have a profile on this site, be warned that they will not provide our authentic Sketchy's experience. Check our Branches page for your local branch!
Last weekend we participated in Dallas Texas' Industry Giants, a gaming, animation and special effects conference. We didn't post an advertisement for this one because it was a freebie we did for the conference that costs to attend the program on it's own and helped the art community get back in touch with keeping their drawing skills up. Many of the amazing artist that showed up admitted that they wanted to practice sketching models again and really appreciated that we were there for them. Jana Edele was our fabulous model and showed them how fun this can be with such a beautiful model.
From Brooklyn beginnings, Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School has spread across the globe and has finally arrived in Christchurch. We're inviting you to our inaugural night for some drinking, drawing and debauchery.
Bring your own drawing materials to sketch our tasty burlesque performers from Ayla's Angels – Nancy and Jonathon Nightshade. The theme for our debut is the French Revolution. Feel free to dress the part. Ooh la la!
At Dr. Sketchy's, we don't care if the last time you picked up a sketchpad was yesterday or in the 18th century. Come to drink or to draw or both. We're happy to have you.
There will be strange
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.
