The beautiful and banterful Nori Zay

I bet you thought we forgot, didn’t you? We didn’t, we’re just a little behind with having done four Dr. Sketchy’s in one month. 🙂

Anyway, Nori Zay, fashion and fetish model extraordinaire, was our lovely muse this past March 8th. Not only was she a stunning eyeful, but an amusing earful as well as she kept the audience entertained with everything from random trivia to a slew of hilarious (and some hilariously awful) jokes.  I have a vague memory of one involving Super Mario’s pants, but I’m afraid it’s lost in a booze-fueled haze at this point.

In any case, take a gander.

Our first contest was the opposite hand drawing contest, where if you’re right-handed you draw with your left, and if you’re left-handed you draw with your right, and if you’re ambidexterous, you get an “eat shit and die” look for being the freak of nature that you are.

Ahem.

Of course, all contests are optional, including this one, since we don’t want anyone sipping any of Russell’s delicious concoctions (the prize, in this particular case) who doesn’t want to—especially since said concoctions can often double as paint-remover when the tag-kids gang-up on the poor bathrooms.

The second contest, inspired by Nori’s Gaga-esque shades, was to include the paparazzi in your sketch.  The prize was a lovely black frame from Artist & Craftsman Supply which is pretty much across the street at the corner of North and Howard. Hopefully the lucky winner will put it to good use in the first ever Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore art show this June. Hopefully all of you are saving up you sketches. 🙂

Contest #3 was the best incorporation of the mystery accessory included with a Raffy Mini-Munny vinyl DIY doll from Atomic Books in Hampden, with said doll being the prize. (First one on the left below.)

Upon opening the silver bag, we discovered the mystery accessory was four itty-bitty giraffe shoes.

BTW, Atomic Books is having their Munny show April 2nd….tell me that isn’t a slick flyer design below too…

Last but not least contest for one of the 20 minute poses was, per Nori’s request, the best incorporation of a mythological beast, with the prize being Visions From Within The Mechanism: The Industrial Surrealism of Jeffery Scott (1019) from Baby Tattoo Books.

Super-duper thanks to Nori Zay for being our wonderful muse and entertainer!  Special thanks too to our sponsors Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books for providing wonderful prizes to vie for; to Bill for busting heads at the front door and working on the Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore documentary, to Jeff for all the great photos you see above, and to Russell for slinging drinks and having us all at the Windup.

Our next session is April 12th, 7 pm to 10 pm, at the Windup Space with Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily Burlesque for a special Twin Peaks themed session to coincide with the Windup’s David Lynchfest on April 10th!

In a day or two, we’ll put up the G40: The Summit recap with Sugar Ann Spice and L’il Dutch, and then a few days after that the recap of contortionist and performer Rebecca Nagle’s session (wait till you see the poses from that one, Lordohmighty). So, if you want us to include your sketches from either of those sessions, better get them to us pronto! Remember, you can also join our Facebook group and upload them there.

So what are you doing Saturday?

Lots of great things going on this weekend folks, check out the calendar for a full list, but here’s quick peek at two things happening Saturday night.  Sabrina Chap, who modeled for us a few weeks ago, and Paco Fish will be performing at the Ottobar along with Trixie Little & Evil Hate Monkey and others AND Dutch Oven Burlesque is having it’s two year anniversary down at the Palace of Wonders with L’il Dutch who modeled for you at G40.

Decisions, decisions!  You won’t go wrong with either. 🙂

Friday, March 12th, at Art Whino G40: The Summit!

Our next Dr. Sketchy’s is tomorrow, March 12th with Sugar Ann Spice and L’il Dutch at Art Whino G40: The Summit, an art exhibition at 223 23rd St. Arlington, VA 22202.

WAIT, WHAT?  Yeah, that’s right.  Two Dr. Sketchy’s in one week?  SUGAR ANN SPICE *AND* L’IL DUTCH???

Yep.

G40: The Summit

5 Floors
500+ Artists
75,000 sqft
Curated Visual and Performance Art

 

 

A dynamic contemporary art exhibition featuring curated works from artists around the world on display for a full month, featuring musical and visual performances, lectures, live painting and much more!

It’s going to be the biggest shindig Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore has ever been part of.

Whatever your plans were for Friday, I GUARANTEE they are not as cool as this.

Checkout the Art Whino website; there are so many jaw-dropping artists there I don’t even know where to start — folks like Molly Crabapple (the lovely founder of Dr. Sketchy’s), Scott G. Brooks, Caia Koopman, Aaron Martin, Sylvia Ortiz, etc.

You’ll never get another chance to see all these artists in one place with Sugar and L’il Dutch posing for your drawing pleasure, AND get to have your Friday night tipple.  Anyone who misses this is going to get a personal visit from me, cause I’m going to drive to each of your houses and slap the dickens out of you.  Like, you’re going to have to shake a copy of Great Expectations out of your pants leg you were hit so hard.

Just go look at their website.

Tomorow, 8 to 11.  The best art exhibit you’ve seen in years plus Sugar Ann Spice and L’il Dutch.

(And special thanks to Carlo and Elise of Stereo Vision Photography  for letting us use their photos of our stunning models for the flyer!  They have a show and reception tonight (Thursday, March 11th), at the Palace of Wonders with a free burlesque show hosted by L’il Dutch.)
