Before we get into this, perhaps some introductions are in order. Hello! My name is Syd. This is what I look like without clothes on:
Your usual blogger John Leavitt is a creature of the night whose ways are known only to mystery. Sometimes he will inexplicably vanish, leaving no trace, and when that happens, I have to fill in as doorboy/blogger for Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School (New York Chapter). If I had to venture a guess, I would say he was probably staked out in front of his local record store
The sinister mole-men who control the weather at the center of the Earth have finally turned NYC's dial to "mild". Thank god, as Dr. Sketchy's was white hot this saturday. The girl with the biggest talents in showbiz, Lady Rygel, did strut and fan-dance into our hearts. We had some amazing prizes from Engravingshack.com and a pre-released book of dirty, dirty comics. The Lucky Cat now features tasty pizza and a full brunch menu so we got some food ontoo of all that alcohol. But why talk about it when you can look at it? All photographs by Ryan Roman, super genuis.
After a slight flub with the cd-player, Lady Rygel did do a Fan dance to open the session. A Fan dance to The Cure.
It's hot enough to bake an egg n the sidewalk here in NYC. Sweltering and streaming Art Monkeys suffered dehydration and sun stroke to see Lady J. Can can you blame them?
Yew-ow-zah! I do belive she's made of pure Sexyonium. No only is Lady J hot, but she fronts she own band, Deaf By Stereo, which is primed to take over the world in a violent, musical coup.
Our easrtwhile art monkeys, being all …earstwhile.
Happy Bastille Day Art Singes! To honor the 213th anniversary of Marie Antoinette suffering a slight case of beheading, we presented Darlinda Just Darlinda as a rainbow mermaid clown. What could be more French then that?
Liberte! Egalite! Sparkles!
Black and white means serious. These are serious drawings. Serious drawings of a rainbow clown mermaid in funny poses.
But black and white cannot do justice to the technicolor wonderland that was Darlinda's makeup.
