Missing your sketch pad?

Someone left their sketch pad at Dr. Sketchy’s last night….fire us an email when you read this and we’ll find a way to get back to you.

If you don’t, I’m going to scan all the drawings, post them here, and tell everyone I did them.  Oh yes, I’m that guy.

There’ll be an official update when we get the photos, but goodness, a ton of people showed up last night, so much that we started having to turn people away.  Boy, we hit that point a lot faster than we thought we would.  Next session, we’re going to remove about half the tables and replace them with more chairs so things aren’t quite so packed.  So consider yourself forewarned, if you want a table or a good seat, make sure to show up early.

Sable was amazing by the way….as were the sketches done for the Atomic Books prizes.   We’ll throw up a proper recap when those photos roll in, but, until then, just know that things were pretty amazing.

And yes, the final contest was “How would Sable capture a bike thief?”  Definitely scan and send those in….they deserve a whole post in of themselves. 🙂

Next session is Oct 27, Monday, 7 – 10, btw.

Photos from 9/8/08, Luna’s session

Yeah, yeah, I’m running a little late.  This whole twice a month thing can get a little hectic. 🙂  In any case, October’s sessions are coming up, so here’s a peek at September’s sessions.  (We’ll post the photos from the second session on Sunday, once the hangovers have cleared.)

Just in case you’re blind and having this post read to you by a text reader, Luna from Gilded Lily was absolutely amazing.  For this particular pose, she started off dressed as a robed old woman with a cane…..each pose change leading to the loss of another element of the costume.  Pretty damn neat.

The costumes kept coming too. 🙂

If you can’t tell, attendance is going up and up….if you want a good seat (and the ability to pick it), you might want to show up a little early.  The next session we “flipped” the room, putting the crowd on the opposite side, and that helped, but if things continue, in a session or two we may have to start turning folks away at the door.

Our contest winners, drinking their celebratory Washington apple shots.  I *think* the contest was “best drawing with your off-hand”, but, I was drinking by then so it’s a little blurry.

In any case, as usual, lots of thanks to Lynn who owns Dionysus for helping us do this, Bill for helping us at the door and not making me do shots by myself, Jeff for photos, and to Luna, without whom we’d all be drawing, well, the wall.  The next two sessions are October 13 and 27, Monday, from 7 to 10, at Dionysus.

We’ll post the recap from the 22nd with the lovely Maria Bella, which involves some drama including a foot chase and the police (no joke), some amazing artwork,  drinking, and our first ever Atomic Books sponsored session.

Speaking of artwork, we’ve been getting a lot of amazing stuff…we’ll see if we can put together a post with all that as well. 🙂

Hey, Molly has a show in Baltimore starting tomorrow.

Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy’s illustrious founder, has some art included in a show starting tomorrow (Sept. 5) at the Definition Gallery on 1800 Fleet Street (which I believe is at the corner of Ann St.) It runs until Sept. 27. The opening reception is tomorrow from 7 PM to 11 PM.

From Definition’s website…

Echo [ek-oh]: a sympathetic or identical response, as to sentiments expressed.

Definition Gallery presents “A Dozen Echoes,” an inspiring ensemble of a dozen female artists from across the United States. Each artist explores the unifying circumstances of being a modern woman in the 21st century while simultaneously reflecting on women’s past roles in history and culture. The gallery selected the artists for their ability to convey these personal and universal experiences with painstaking detail. The exhibition demonstrates a mastery over a variety of mediums; from traditional glazes to contemporary photography.

Alexis and I will be there tomorrow night, so if you’re up for some art in Fells tomorrow, we’ll see ya there….
