sponsor testimonials

"Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, with dozens of branches worldwide, is one of the best marketing platforms (and one of the best kept marketing secrets) available to creative lifestyle brands. Dr. Sketchy's has allowed Baby Tattoo Books to reach an elusive group of independent yet socially connected consumers through tight integration of Baby Tattoo's product and Dr. Sketchy's programming. Dr. Sketchy's has redefined the standards by which Baby Tattoo evaluates a successful return on any promotional investment."

-Bob Self, President Baby Tattoo Books

"We teamed up with Dr. Sketchy to promote our new graphic biography of Kiki de Montparnasse. We had joint events in Glasgow and London, which were great fun. Our graphic novel by French artists Catel & Bocquet perfectly compliments the Dr. Sketchy concept, where art, performance and fun are all captured in one night."

-Emma Hayley, MD SelfMadeHero
The UK's leading graphic novel publisher
