Viola Van Wilde next Monday, Nov 24!

Woo hoo, second to last Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore of 2008!

Viola Van Wilde of Gilded Lily  will be modeling . . . and take a look at the photograph by George Hagegeorge above with text by Alexis!  (Check out http://www.pbase.com/hagegeorge for related work as well.)

In other news, it took a little bit, but we’ve now discovered how far our models can go.  No nudity of course, but they can go a little bit further in their costumes than they have in the past sessions, so expect things to be upped a notch from here on out.

Anyways, November 24th, 7 – 10 pm at Dionysus, 8 Preston St, with prizes from Atomic Books.

A quick note about upcoming dates.

If you take a note of the sidebar on the right, we’ll be taking a break for the holidays…..MICA will be out of town, WE’LL be out of town, and everyone who isn’t out of town will probably have their schedule packed for the holidays. 

That would basically leave poor Bill hosting, posing, and drawing all at once, which, though Bill is great at multi-tasking, the image of him sitting by himself in front of a mirror, crying, trying to draw himself while simultaneously trying to collect a cover from himself is just too sad to contemplate.

So, our last date of 2008 will be Dec 8, and our first date of 2009 will be January 26.

Photos from Monday’s session.

Monday night went great, what we remember of it. Nicolette went above and beyond with an absolutely stunning set of outfits and frighteningly difficult poses; Andrew and Lynn managed to juggle the power-outage-fried cash register system without a single drink getting slowed down, and Alexis and I managed to not fall down ONCE even though we were about eight sheets to the wind by the last set of poses.

Not only that, but I think just about everyone there participated in the contests this time around without a shrinking violet in the bunch. (We’ll put up some photos and drawings from all that next week.)

If you have a sketch from Monday and don’t mind us putting it up in a gallery here, please, please, please email it to us. The cave-girl drawings were some of the best we’ve seen yet.

As announced on Monday, starting in September we’ll start going twice a month, the second and last week of September to be specific. (The 8th and 22nd.)

Our email box is stuffed with inquiries from models, lots of artists, and spam; September should be pretty interesting.
