Dr Sketchy's

No Sunday is better spent unless it involves stuffing ma face with Homeroom mac and cheeze, hanging out with Josh Brown (old buddy/housemate from Santa Cruz times), and doin some figure drawing at Dr. Sketchy's East Bay.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Dr.  Sketchy's, but it's way more exciting than any kind of figure drawing sessions you'll find on campus. The models are usually performers of another kind, like burlesque, circus performers, dancers, professional body builders, etc. The ladies I drew were from a mud/lube wrestling group called Go Deep. I drew wrestlers with names like: Magic Mountains, Kitty Meow McMuffin, and Barbary Doll to name a few. Did I also mention this was at the Starry Plow? I didn't know drinking and drawing was so fun, and not a bad idea either. The event was 2 and half hours with good poses, silly music, and a contest. Surprisingly, I got third place! Maybe it's not a surprise, I only win contests when it involves art supplies. I won some pencils, a drink ticket, and a ticket to a burlesque show in SF. sounds good to me. 
Here's the winning sketch of the evening: 

the theme was 'wetness'

I think what made it was the sweat flinging off of Magic Mountain's boobs. A real winner. whatevs, this isn't over! I'll post the photo of me being nerdy holding up my pic with the Go Deep girls. It should be embarassing.

Been doing lots and nothing at the same time. My house is about ten degrees colder on the inside because I live in a building that has cement floors and cinder block walls. getting the motivation up to draw with cold hands has been tough, but I got help being motivated by doing a commission for my work.

It is a whiteboard advertisement, a simple one at that, but enough. I made a drawing later that night of a depiction of an event that happened in my housemate's dream.

made in pencil and glitter gel pen.

It goes like this:
while riding her bike in Santa Cruz over the levy, a raccoon came out of the bushes. Being terrified of raccoons, margaret (my housemate) rode faster riding in and out of the lamp light. During this time the raccoon heckled a high pitched, YAKYAKYAKYAKYAK! When she thought she had escaped, the raccoon popped out of nowhere wearing a pair of sparkly red mary janes and holding a stick. it cackled again at her before saying in a deep manly voice, "SUCK MY DICK, BITCH!" Then it stuck its stick in the spokes and margaret flew over her handlebars, through the darkness and into her bed.
I hope you enjoyed it. More to come

I wanted to show you what I've been working on this month. It's finally clean, vinyl windowed, glittered, and ready for some signage. I'm working on it now with my lady, Mallory. The name of this trike-ragin' cart will be revealed when we're done.
