As usual with Dr. Sketchy events, it's usually best to get to the gallery early so you can get a good spot from which to sketch. Considering that these events are pretty popular, it's not unreasonable to aim to arrive 30 minutes before the event is scheduled to start.

Dr. Sketchy's SF presents the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence this Tuesday, April 19

Ever seen a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and thought, "Yeah, I'd like to sketch that Sister!" Well, your opportunity is here! No more running after them asking them to stop on the street while you sketch them. This Tuesday, they'll be posing for you at 111 Minna Gallery as Dr. Sketchy's San Francisco presents the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.!

If you've never been to a Dr. Sketchy event, it's like a drawing class on enhancements. You have the guest model/performer present who will engage in various poses for lengthening amounts of time. There's usually music playing and contests, so the mood is upbeat. And during the breaks, you can chat with your fellow artists or get something to drink at the bar. Very cool!

Also, if you have been experiencing some difficulties with your drawings, Diane Olivier is here to help! From 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at 111 Minna, she will be conducting a clinic for those who are seeking assistance. Email Diane with a list of your symptoms, and pay $20.00 (which includes front row seats at Dr. Sketchy's). The clinic is limited to 12 participants, so email her today! A full description of the clinic is below in the event description.

So this Tuesday, bring your favorite drawing materials to 111 Minna Gallery, which is located at 111 Minna Street in San Francisco (map). Though the event starts at 7:00, I'd recommend people arrive by 6:30 to get a good place to sketch. The cost to attend is now $12.00 general, and $10.00 for students and teachers. You also need to be 21 years of age or older to participate.

Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School: San Francisco presents The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.

Dr. Sketchy San Francisco presents Talia this Tuesday, November 16

Dr. Sketchy's SF presents local art model and aerialist Talia this Tuesday at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco (map).

What is Dr. Sketchy's? It's an opportunity for you to learn to draw—or to improve your drawing skills—using a live model. It's the anti-art school! Plus, it's a chance to socialize with your fellow artists over a drink in a fun and pressure-free atmosphere. It's part of a network of Dr. Sketchy's worldwide!

The regular Dr. Sketchy's session begins at 7:00 p.m., and it usually ends at about 10:00 p.m. What usually happens is that the first few poses are relatively short at a few minutes, then they get longer as the evening goes on. There will probably be a few breaks during the evening, both for the artists and the model. Those breaks will be a good opportunity to get a drink from the bar or to schmooze!

In addition, there will be a drawing workshop with one of Dr. Sketchy's organizers, Diane Olivier, just before the regular session. She's on the faculty of City College of San Francisco, and she'll help you to become the artist you've always wanted to be! The workshop runs from 5:30 to 6:30, and it's limited to the first 12 people. The fee is $20, but it includes a front row seat at the Dr. Sketchy's session! Email Diane to reserve your spot today!

Talia is an aerialist, art model, and cutie! Don't miss your opportunity to draw her!

Dia de Los Muertos meets La Virgen de Guadalupe at Dr Sketchy’s SF with La Chica Boom this Tuesday at 111 Minna Gallery.

What is Dr. Sketchy's? It's an opportunity to draw a live model in a no-pressure situation. There will be no mandatory judging of your works of art, but there are often drawing contests if you care to enter. There's a bar so you can get something to drink, and breaks during which you can socialize with your fellow sketchers! So whether you're a novice or an experienced artist, you are welcome at Dr. Sketchy's San Francisco!

Who is La Chica Boom? She's the founder and artistic director of Kaleidoscope Cabaret, which is a neo-burlesque show that features performers of color. She's also a burlesque performer who is appearing in various shows around the Bay Area. This year's Kaleidoscope show will take place at the Brava Theater in San Francisco on Saturday, October 30. In addition, there will be a free educational symposium entitled Race Reveal: Racial Tropes, Queer Performance, Political Possibilities on Thursday, October 28, from noon to 5 p.m. in 370 Dwinelle Hall at UC Berkeley.

La Chica Boom

Queer Chicana Starlet Chica Boom organizes with communities of color to destabilize white heteropatriarchy by day and by night she seduces audiences with her witty ethnic drag. This El Paso/Juarez bordertown bruja has been weaving her cultural, political and sexual identity through alternative dance, theatre, performance art, burlesque, clowning and street performance across North America. Chica Boom's provocative posturing shakes and breaks the mold of submissive mestiza. Her sexual and cultural hybridism gives voice to an intentional revolutionary style of performance that depicts her multiplicity of consciousness as a fierce queer femme/macha, Chicana organizer and performer. She is the founder of Kaleidoscope, An Annual National People of Color Cabaret and currently organizes with INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence.

The starlet that would one day become the alluring Flame Cynders began her journey into performance by studying classical ballet, tap and jazz dance beginning at the age of 4. Her love of dance coupled with years of vocal training afforded her many opportunities to perform throughout the world and to gather a strong sense of style to call her own. She has graced cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berlin, Hamburg, Brussels, Manchester and London with her performances.

She has had an opportunity to compete in Miss Exotic World, won second runner up in the Battle Royal in Vancouver (2006), and second runner up in Viva Las Vegas 2007. In 2008 Flame opened up the Miss Exotic World weekend at the Ghost Bar at the Palms, Toronto Burlesque Festival, and Tease-O-Rama. She was also recently featured in Java Bachelor Pad Magazine.
