Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Burlesque Life Drawing Session
featuring: Devilicia D'Amour
Great Scott
1222 Commonwealth Ave Allston (at corner of Harvard)
$8 2.30-5.30pm 18+ (bring your ID, this is a bar)


We're excited to have Devilicia D'Amour (Blackcat Burlesque, La gata Negra masked female wrestling...) to model for us! Crazy Amazing. Starting in Brooklyn, in 2005, artists Molly Crabapple and A.V. Phibes created the Dr. Sketchy's Empire. Now with over 60 braches including new ones in Cape Town, South Africa and Bogota, Columbia. Dr. Sketchy's is on every continent except Antarctica

Aside from the standard structure of short poses to warm you up and then longer ones to give you more time to concentrate, this is definitely not your typical life drawing class. The model wears gorgeous burlesque outfits and slowly strips out of them! The model talks! You'll clap for them and hoot and holler! You'll tip them! You'll chat with your neighbor! There is no teacher to embarrass you when you don't produce enough! You get to drink and draw without getting in trouble! Now is the time to heal those art school wounds. Dr. Sketchy's will guide you.

You don't have to have any experience or special materials. You just need the desire to try... Dig out your dusty sketchbooks or hit the store and get a pad, and come join us for a little late afternoon nudie drawing date.

Check out the photos section for images of past Sketchy's Sessions.

Dr. Sketchy's World Headquarters

OMG! Molly has a new book out! (and she'll be joining us in September to run our session and sign them! I the mean time, hit the image to the right to go buy it on line!

On July 8th, Fugu Press will release Scarlett Takes Manhattan, the first graphic novel by Dr. Sketchy’s creator Molly Crabapple and her longtime collaborator John Leavitt. Set in the demimonde of Gilded Age New York, Scarlett Takes Manhattan tells the story of poor Bowery girl Shifra Helfgott, who rises to become the premier fire-eater of her age.

Chock full of rigged boxing matches, dirty politics, and turn of the century lesbian culture, "Scarlett" has been described as "disgustingly wonderful" by Warren Ellis and led Margaret Cho to call Molly "THE artist of our time."

Wednesday July 15: CineMental featuring By Hook or By Crook with shorts and trailers from Steakhaus Productions.
Thursday July 16: Micachu and the Shapes with Anni Rossi at Great Scott

ArtBeat in Davis Square

Two exciting things: One is that I'll be there selling UtiliTies, Neti Pot T's, hankies etc...and Two is that I'll be running an outdoor Dr. Sketchy session in the booth next to me. People can come and draw our amazing models outside in the sun while ArtBeat bustles around you...bring a towel or blanket to sit on and some drawing supplies and we'll provide the futuristic models!
