Dr. Sketchy's Knoxville's May session really brought out the bold, beautiful women with our "Beauty, Brains and Bruises" session featuring our local roller derby dames, THE HARD KNOX ROLLER GIRLS!  This session features models from the HKRG: 6 beautiful, brainy and bruised power players that inspired the art monkeys to new heights in sketching madness.  To match their intensity, we also featured performances celebrating the various elements of women-power.  Here's a photo blog of our kick-ass session.

We kicked this session off in style with a musical performance.  The incredibly and inner-light filled Anjana took us to new heights with two original songs celebrating the power within and the inspiration that comes from those who enter our lives.

Slaughter.  The challenge was to imagine these wild women in a "day job" and the winning artist, Jason Ammons made the beauties a bit of a shocker. Can you say, "Get thee to a nunnery?"  Um, hell no...but it was a great sketch!
