Dr. Sketchy Boston Evening Session with Brandy Wine and Amy Macabre

Dearest Amy — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:53:24 +0000

Sometimes all I need is a little Dr. Sketchy’s to get me inspired. Tonight was a great Tuesday night. Went to Club Cafe to draw for 2 hours. Had a martini with olives and sketched away. Here’s what I came up with. The outfits tonight’s models wore touched my weakness for leopard print and Tim Burton styling. So much fun to get into my drawings. I won free admission to the next Dr. Sketchy’s for my unicorn drawing.

I had so much fun drawing Tess Aquarium and Myss Ripley at Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Burlesque Life Drawing Session today. Their costumes were outrageous, colorful and creative. They dressed as unicorns, mermaids, Pan, a nymph and an odd little bunny creature.

My mermaid illustration won a contest, here’s my prize:


This purse was created and donated by Miss Tess Aquarium, check out her website for all sorts of Unicorns, Tutu’s and Glitter. Oh my! at misstess.com

Hello. I’m just starting this website. I will use this site to upload the newest images I create as well as art related activities and events I attend.

I’m currently working on new flower pins/brooches. These brooches will be sold at the MassArt Spring Sale. MassArt’s Spring Sale takes place May 2 — 7 in the Tower Lobby.

Here’s a sneak peek of the flowers I will be selling:

Thanks to the talent and patience of Luke Sideris, this website exists. See Luke’s Portfolio here.
