Dr. Sketchy's at the Space Gallery this Thursday, November 18, 2008

Last night, I caught the Uptown Hubba Hubba show, and my friend Tinky Sparkle performed her new act, which involved a maid's outfit. Ooh la la! Hubba, hubba! I do believe that I've got some of the sexiest and most talented friends on the planet!

And speaking of Tinky Sparkle, YOU will get the opportunity to sketch her this Thursday at the Space Gallery. Yes, it's time for Dr. Sketchy's! And Tinky will be your model, along with some other hot, hot people. And, oh yeah, Randy Johnson will be your MC. Hehe.

Dr. Sketchy's SF on Thursday, October 23, 2008

My good buddy Jessica "Tink" Whiteside will be hosting the next Dr. Sketchy's SF this coming Thursday! Full disclosure requires me to say that I'll be helping with setup and clean up, so I've got a vested interest in this event. :-)

I've never been to a Dr. Sketchy's, but from what Tink has told me, it goes something like this. You bring a sketchbook and some drawing tools. Graphite pencils, color pens, dry mediums like that. And basically you get to sketch a burlesque or other performer after s/he finishes a performance. I believe Bombshell Betty will be performing and modeling this time. And Randy "Anormous" Johnson will be the MC and musical guest, I do believe. The Dr. Sketchy main website (www.drsketchy.com) describes it as a different kind of life drawing class.

There will be contests and prizes. Not sure what they are, yet. And music. And drinks. And a chance to meet and mingle. It's supposed to be a fun and sexy time. A chance to create art in a non-stuffy atmosphere.

Here are the main deets:

Okay. That's all the sketchy things I have for now. So if you want to draw some sexy performers, come on out to Dr. Sketchy's on Thursday. Even if you haven't drawn in a while or don't consider yourself to be a great artist, come on out and get in some practice. Or experiment!
