Where burlesque meets life drawing in Charm City!
LiiLii Lipstick this coming Monday! More prizes from Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books, cold drinks, and probably the first day in a week where it won’t be raining!
Tell me that’s not an amazing photograph. Special thanks to Johnny B for letting us use it. Check out Johnny B’s website JohnnyBPhotographyOnline.com if you want to see more. 🙂
Hope you’ve not forgotten! If that flyer doesn’t make you want to be there with a sharpened pencil (or paint brush) ((or markers)) (((or embroidering kit))) then I just don’t know what to say. Alexis and I rolled in from NYC last night around one in the morning, having spent the weekend at Sketchycon with Molly Crabapple, John Leavitt, and the Sketchy branches of dozens of other cities around the world. We’re about as fired up as we can get.
By the way, we’ve added our Twitter feed over in the column on the right, so if you want up-to-the-second updates of when the next Sketchy’s is, other interesting things going on in Baltimore (Trixie Little and Evil Hate Monkey are at the Hustler Club this Friday…I haven’t found the details yet, but I’ll look them up for you), how many screwdrivers Alexis drank, or general public announcements like OH MY GOD SWINE FLU IS TOTALLY THE NEW BLACK, well, that’s where all that stuff will be.
What else? Oh, I hope you went to Glitterama.
Anyways…tonight, 7 o’clock, ONE TIME ONLY ON AN APRIL 27TH, **SABLE SIN CYR!!** At Dionysus, 8 Preston St, prizes from Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books! Bring your drawy stuff.
That’s easily my favorite photo. 🙂
Gazillions of thanks to Little Luna (Happy belated birthday!), who without, we would have all been very, very bored, and, well, things would have been somewhat awkward. Thanks to Lynn, Derrick, Andrew, and everyone else at Dionysus too for letting us draw pretty Luna in their dining room and for keeping our drinks filled (and getting lit with Alexis and I lit later on that evening after we finished putting everything back together).
Thanks to Jeff for the photos and Bill for holding down the door. Tons and tons of thanks to our sponsors Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books. By the way, Don from Artist & Craftsman gave away a ton of free art supplies . . . in addition the two art piles (water colors, canvases, etc) give away as prizes for a contest.
More photos, yes?
The next two of Little Luna in her Eve costume crack me up.
This next one was for the Atomic Books sponsored contest, which was best incorporation of the Mini-Munny in your drawing, with the prize being the Mini-Munny.
The above one cracked me up…if you can’t read the text, the top caption says, “I wonder what sort of accessory comes with Full-Size Luna?” and the bottom one says, “I wonder what sort of accessory comes with Full-Size Munny?”
The next contest was for Symptomatica by Ragnar, from Baby Tattoo books.
Watch out, Vanna.
Back to Luna…
The contest was a new one….write the most fucked up sentence you can think of on a card, then pass it to the person on your left who then has to try and incorporate into their drawing.
There were some seriously demented sentences.
Next session is this Monday, April 27th, at 7 with Sable Sin Cyr.
Alexis and I are actually in NYC this weekend for a Dr. Sketchy’s convention, so, if the train explodes or Molly gets us all arrested, Bill and Jeff may have to run the shebang themselves, which could be all sorts an interesting adventure, but hopefully no trains will explode and since Alexis and I are quite good at evaporating after bar fights, there’s probably nothing to worry about.
Probably.
