Next session: March 8 with the lovely Nori Zay! Plus, we’ll be at G40 in DC!

The fabulous alternative fashion and fetish model Nori Zay will be our muse at our next session on Monday, March 8—join us at the Windup Space for another night of drinks, drawing, and debauchery!

As always, doors open at 6 and drawing starts at 7–show up early to get a great seat! We’ll have more crazy drawing contests in which we’ll be giving away more prizes from Atomic Books and Artist and Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books.

Special thanks to the incredibly talented Brooklyn singer/songwriter Sabrina Chap, who modeled and performed for us on Feb. 22! We’ll have photos and sketches from our session with Sabrina posted here soon. As always, thanks to all of you who came out to draw her! And special thanks to those of you who’ve already sent us your drawings from her session. If you haven’t done so yet and would like to have us share them here in the blog, scan in those babies and email them to us, or post them on our Facebook group!

Plus, for those of you in or near DC, check out our special session at Art Whino’s giant art show, G40: The Summit, in Crystal City. This free session will be on Friday, March 12, from 8 to 11 p.m., and DC’s own burlesque beauties, Sugar Ann Spice and L’il Dutch, will be providing artistic inspiration for the evening! Whether or not you can make this session on the 12th, you definitely need to check out this show, which officially opens this Saturday. Five floors of amazing art, including pieces from Dr. Sketchy’s founder Molly Crabapple, from DC/Baltimore-area art stars Scott G. Brooks and Sylvia Ortiz, and from over 500 other artists across the country and around the world!

See you on the 8th (and the 12th)!

Opening night of Closer tonight!

 

Don’t forget, opening night of Closer with Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque is tonight, not to mention a ton of other talented folks!  Bar scene and free food afterward!  Check out the details below.

Closer
By Patrick Marber

There’s a thin, shaky line between love and hate… and it always seems the people we love most are the ones we hurt most often. In Closer, playwright Patrick Marber gives us a brilliant and painfully honest exploration of the brutal anatomy of modern romance. Modern day London hosts four strangers as they meet, fall in love, fall out of love and back again in this poignant, dark sketch of one or our favorite pop culture topics- The Relationship.

Thursday 2/18 at 8pm, Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm, Sunday 2/28 at 3pm.  General Admission $15, Students and Seniors $12. Tickets are available at the door or through Brown Paper Tickets.

Dr. Sketchy’s is tonight! And look, we have an official cocktail menu!

It’s the last Dr. Sketchy’s of the year!  Tonight at 7 o’clock, doors at 6, celebrate a year of Sketchy with Nicolette Le Faye and a fancy pancy cocktail.  Not only that, but if you show up between 6 and 7, it’s a dollar off the cocktail prices above.

That’s pretty cheap, like, Bill-the-guy-at-the-door-(the ugly one, not the handsome one) cheap.

It’s a long time to the next Dr. Sketchy’s . . . all the way to January 25th actually, so don’t come to us if you start getting the shakes in a few weeks because you missed your last fix. 🙂
