Sketch backlog bonanza!

So, I promised to post a bunch of sketches that didn’t make it into the appropriate session recap for whatever reason, and here they are–a week later than promised, but better late than never, I say. Which is why we still will take any sketches you finally get around to scanning and sending to us, even if it’s from a session from last November. And then we’ll post them four months after that, and everyone can reminisce or something . . .

Anyhoo, first up–a lovely sketch of Sable Sin Cyr from the April 27 session, by Andrew Spangler:

Andrew was, technically, the first to submit his sketches of Sable for this session (and sadly, only one of two that did… [sigh]), but I only fished his email out of the spam folder a couple weeks ago. Dunno how the hell it got there, but I’m sure glad that I eventually did check the folder for non-spam items. Bad, bad Alexis.

Next, here’s a sketch of  Viola Van Wilde from our first anniversary session on June 8, created by none other than our generous sponsor, Don Sinish from Artist & Craftsman Supply (which is just down and across the street from our new venue, Windup Space, on North Ave.):

And, here’s a whole slew of sketches from Chip Molter, who sent these in a whole big batch. First up, a drawing of Bambi Galore, from the March 9 session:

Then, of Lena Grove, from the March 23 session:

Love this Munny contest entry featuring Little Luna, from the April 13 session:

For those of you who weren’t at our sessions during which we were giving away mini Munnies from Atomic Books, artists competed for these awesome DIY vinyl toys by incorporating a Munny into their drawings of the model. Each mini Munny comes with a surprise accessory–anything ranging from a cell phone to a protest sign.

Next, sketches of LiiLii Lipstick, from our May 11 session:

And my absolute favorite of Chip’s drawings, from the “best depiction of Capt. Kirk hitting on LiiLii” contest, which I’m fairly certain he won:

And that’s it for now! Don’t forget–tonight’s our first session at the Windup Space (12 W. North Ave., at the corner of North and Charles)! The lovely Lucille Lingerhans von Spankenstein will be on hand to provide you with some sassy inspiration, and we’ll be giving away more fantastic prizes! Drawing starts at 7 p.m., but show up early to get a good seat and check out the awesome work in the Vs. show, still up till the end of the month. And remember, we’re now an 18 & over event. See you tonight!

We’re moving to Windup!

If you weren’t able to join us on June 22, you missed out on a fantastic session with the fabulous Sugar Ann Spice! And, you also missed our last session at Dionysus.

We’re extremely grateful to Lynn Hafner, the charming and gorgeous owner of Dionysus, for having us at her wonderful bar for our first year. Lynn’s taking a well-deserved break from the restaurant business, and so the bar will be under new ownership. We’re told that it will still be Dionysus under the new owners, and Aaron and I will still grab a beer and a bite to eat there in the future, as we hope you will, too.

So, please join us on July 20, when the sassy Lucille Lingerhans von Spankenstein will be modeling for us at our new home–the Windup Space! In case you’re not familiar with this fantastic bar/gallery/music venue, it’s in the Station North Arts District at 12 W. North Ave., on the corner of North and Charles, pretty much around the corner and up the street from Dionysus–though, I hope you guys will know where Windup is, since you should’ve checked out the Vs. show by now. The show will be up till the end of July so, at the least, the slackers among you can see it at our next session. 😉 But, really, why wait for almost a month to see our new digs? Just go now.

Moving to the Windup means we’ll have more space–it’s at least twice as big as Dionysus’s dining room–and so will the model, since there’s a stage. (And, maybe I can finally put my crappy decade-old light stands out to pasture.) Also, Windup does not serve food, so feel free to get take out from wherever–maybe a pizza from Joe Squared, up the street–and bring it into the bar.

Aaand, Russell, the owner of Windup, has agreed to make an exception to his 21+  rule for us–so, until further notice, Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore is now an 18+ event. Of course, you still have to be at least 21 to drink.

Check our blog next week, where we’ll have sketches and photos from our session with Sugar Ann Spice. (Also, if you visit us on Facebook, you might get a sneak-peak in the next few days of some of the drawings we’ve received.) In the meantime, as always–send us your sketches!

See you on the 20th at the Windup Space!
