Mon, August 02, 2010 • Wasting Away Again in Master and Margaritaville

???????????, ????????? ???????!

Welcome to another thrilling edition of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Blog!

As you may recall, when last we met, we were homeless and in exile, much like Trotsky, and, just like Trotsky, we vowed to continue our work elsewhere. So it was that we arrived in our latest station in exile, the Parkside Lounge. For our inaugural session, it only seemed right that we pay tribute to Trotsky’s time in exile, for it was during this period that Mikhail Bulgakov wrote his famous book, The Master and Margarita. Our session featured Zoetica Ebb and her husband Alez Kot respectively as the titular Margarita and the titular Master, with Nik Sin joining them as Voland’s lovable kitty-cat Behemoth.



Here is The Master hard at work, writing his Biblically themed parable. I don’t see any pictures of him baiting anything, but if I see one, I have a great joke lined up.



Here are some samples of our renowned Left-Handed drawing contest. It was important that this Soviet session was as Left as possible. Those caught drawing with their right hands were relocated to Siberia.





The vodka was provided by our friends at Boyd and Blair. Because without vodka, honestly, who cares about those Reds?

John donned a Russian flag as a cape to take on the identity of Soviet superhero Rossiya-Matushka to introduce our second contest - the object of which was to create the most Soviet drawing.



Don’t turn around! Der Komissar’s in town!

This was some sort of art thing, I think.

I’m confused by this one. Russia has reindeer, sure, but that’s not really what the Soviet Union is known for. And why the mermaid? Do they have mermaids in Russia? I’ll check wikipedia. Yes, they’re called rusalki. But they have legs. I don’t get this at all.

This I get. It is winner! See, is bear. Bear has vodka. ???????.

The winner received this authentic Russian fauna from Squishable.





Zoetica and Nik demonstrate the importance of good personal hygiene.





Zoetica is so bored by the boys’ Mexican standoff.

Keeping with the occult themes of the book, our last contest was to draw the most satanic drawing.

This one is very sensible warning to stay away from those who have the evil powers of hellfire and irony.

Here, we see our otherworldly models enjoying a break somewhere between limbo and purgatory.

Holy shit! No, really! Holy shit! That is some serious fucking evil!

This one has some anatomical problems, but I think what’s happening is that Ales dropped Zoetica while she was fishing around in her abdomen looking for her car keys.

This is adorable. Even more than the drawing itself, I love that this is someone’s conception of satanic. Brilliant.

And the session ended with the traditional awards ceremony.

Until next time, ?? ????????!
