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

Our literary themed session was a best seller, with art monkeys and literary buffs alike clamouring to see Brigitte de Brief take up the mantle of Sketchy muse. It was a night of prose, pose and pervalicious poetry that is definitely one for the books!
Brigitte de Brief, in whiskey-swigging-author-attire, had us hooked from the word go! We couldn't wait for her story to undress.. I mean, unfold.
Greetings, Art Monkeys.
We here at Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School are huge supporters of Girl Power in all its forms. Unfortunately, equal treatment of women in the workplace as well as greater focus on women's issues in our nation's politics are kind of outside of our capacity. On the other hand, we are able to showcase women who kick ass, which is why we had our model Haro pose as a leather-bound warrior woman. She's kind of a Xenaish, Wonder-Womany type in a Mad Max-like outfit, though I suppose since she's Austrian rather than Australian, I should make some Arnold Schwarzenegger reference. You know what? Nuts to that. I'm making reference to Haydn instead. That's right, she's a warrior in the action movie tradition of Franz Haydn.
