The show went great, and we had a big crowd – full of very serious artists. In between drawing sessions, Elvis, “The Red King,” kept the audience occupied and well fed by throwing them twinkies. Big thanks to Bambi Galore, L’il Dutch, special guest Buster Hymen, and Elvis, “The Red King!”

FAQ (courtesy of www.drsketchy.com)

How is Dr. Sketchy’s different from a normal life drawing class?

In normal life classes, silent students sit in a silent room and draw a bored, oft-uninteresting model. In Dr. Sketchy’s we’ve got bodacious burlesque queens as models. We’ve got ridiculous art contests (best incorporation of a woodland animal? Best imagined costume?), good music and flashy prizes. We’ve got a selection of posh beverages- alcoholic and not- available to buy.

At Dr. Sketchy’s, we don’t care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago. Come to drink or to draw. We’re happy to have you.

What mediums can I use?

All dry mediums are okay, as are dip pens and a neat watercolour sets. Oil paints, messy mediums and stinky mediums are not okay. Please don’t cause a mess. Sharpen your pencils over the garbage can.

Are there easles? Tables? Sketchpads?

The Warehouse has a few tables. All seating is first come, first served.

Full recap coming soon. In the meantime here are some photos of the artists. As you can see, a good time was had by all. A full gallery of photos will be on the Art in Heat website in the next week or so.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the show Saturday and also to the artists, Lobsterboy and his Revue, our DJ Adam, Molly, and Paul. Special thanks to Jared of course, Kate for all her hard work, and Mike for both the website and putting up with me these last several months.
