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. 🙂

Atomic Books, Maria Bella, and the new flyer.

Monday, Sept 22, from 7 to 10 is the next Dr. Sketchy’s…Maria Bella of Gilded Lily Burlesque is going to be our fabulous model, so make sure to remember your contacts.  Jay Calvert took the photo above btw, and Alexis did the flyer design.

Not only that, NOT ONLY THAT, but Atomic Books is our first official sponsor and are helping us out with the prizes this time around, so, if I was you, I’d start putting some thought right now into how I was going to cheat and this time around.

No, Bill, you’re not eligible.

(If you didn’t know, Atomic Books actually hosted the national Dr. Sketchy’s tour when it came through Baltimore last year.)

Atomic Books is having their 16th Anniversary party at the store on Oct 3rd…there’s going to be a ton of comics people and bands.  Check it out.

Umm….what else….oh, we’ll have photos from the last session up in a few days (our photographer has been on a bender or something and isn’t returning phone calls because he thinks we’re the bar).

Oh, and I’m watching the news while I type this…..you know those new trash cans all over Baltimore?  Apparently they cost $600 a pop.  See, not only does Dr. Sketchy’s keep your drawing skills honed to a razor’s edge and molest your liver twice a month, we keep you IN THE KNOW.

Your sketches!

Without further ado, here are the first sketches our talented art monkeys have submitted . . .

Again, if you have sketches from our previous three sessions: please, please, please send them in! Just email them to us by noon on Monday to get in on the 8th for the old cover charge of $5.

See you Monday! (Or maybe at Friday night’s gallery opening?)
