A Little Bit Grimm

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Yes were were at it again this week! More antics and high jinks at our Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School A Little Bit Grimm event in Chester.

Lola Lashes starred as our Little Red Riding Hood – lost in the deep dark forest of womanhood. After some quick

sketches… Red soon realised she was getting some tingly feelings… sketchers sketched on as we listened to “Like a Virgin” and talked about Adventures in Menstruating

After the break we were treated to a performance by Lola and Lolly Liqueur our Wolf Girl, who chased Red around the stage and gnashed her teeth before devouring her… or is that deflowering her?

We got to draw Lolly howl at the moon in this beautiful pose

Some final poses included both models – with Red overcoming and overpowering her hairy beast!

As you may be aware Extinct Design sponsors the Dr. Sketchy North Wales Anti-Art School events, not only with prizes and goodies to dish out to the deserving but also in the hosting, planning and organizing of it all!
See below for the recent blog post. Full details can be seen on the main blog Dr. Sketchy’s North Wales
Our Dr. Sketchy’s Valentine night was the perfect loved up affair of glamour, sexy sketching and chocolate!

Suzie Sequin kicked off the night as Marilyn Monroe and her Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend act. She posed perfectly for our pencils giving us true Monroe style and sophistication…

Introducing Miss Pepper! Everyones favourite spice x

We had lots of fun drawing up our own Sketchy style Valentines cards as well as peeping through little heart shapes in which to draw…
A great range of people and some fantastic images from the night!
So great to see the place bursting at the seams of creative people! Our third Sketchy’s and a SELL OUT!

Thanks to all that attended making it a very memorable night.

The Art of Burlesque

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Exciting News!!

I’m the sparkly brand new Branch Director and Host of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in North Wales!!

Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is the little New York art event that has become the world’s premier alt.drawing movement. Started in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, the concept is simple. Artist’s draw glamorous burlesque dancers, compete in contests, and win wacky prizes. From it’s humble Brooklyn beginnings, Dr. Sketchy’s now has over 100 branches around the globe, including Los Angeles, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and Melbourne.

When many artists think “life drawing,” they think of sterile rooms, bad lighting, and bored, silent, models with nary a hint of personality. Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School North Wales is here to change all that.

As most of you are aware who visit this blog know I love to fuse art & fashion, creative costumes & comedy in my work and Dr. Sketchy’s will bring all this to life!

This new venture ties in perfectly with the Extinct Design, like its fabulous cool older sister, one that wears corsets…

When the occasion calls for it I will be selling vintage, upcycled and recycled costumes, clothes and all manner of accessories at the events, hopefully fuelling the rise of an ever confident breed of young lads and ladies in whatever state of undress…

First ever Welsh Sketchy will be taking place in the newly re-furbished Scala Cinema, Prestayn on 28th October 2010!

A celebration of Samhain, Out with the Old & In with the New!

That’s what All Hallows is to me!

And guess who’s going to be there….?
