Greetings, Art Monkeys!

What is summer without the beach? Oh, I know, there are tons of people in landlocked corners of the world who have no beach, but they're losers! Here in New York, we have Coney Island, where there you'll find roller coasters and corn dogs and mermaids. Yes, friends, mermaids are real and they are not manatees. Manatees are nice, but they aren't magical, and mermaids are the realest magic I have known in my life. Mermaids are the most beautiful soulless abominations that the sea has to offer. So it was that when Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School came to the beach, we brought along our own mermaid, Kiki Valentine. Special guest photographer Abigail Amalton was there to document.

Kiki shows off the fabulous legs for which she traded her tongue to a witch. If you ask me, the witch got gypped.

It was a hot day on the beach and Kiki was directly in the sun. This is exactly why Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School employs slaves who are more than happy to fan the models.

Ms. Valentine also brought another outfit that was perhaps more appropriate to the beach setting.

Here is a sampling of the artists' work, taken over their shoulders when they least expected.

For the final poses, Kiki posed with the fin. Naturally, this limited her to seated poses, but dearest me but she looks glorious.

Those are all the photos we have for this session. Thank you to Molly, Melissa, Tim, Keith, and everyone who came with us all the way to the end of the B-line. We'll see you again soon.
