Hey y’all! Let’s see whats hidden in those sketch books! Come browse the work of Austin’s Dr. Sketchy collective! So many talented artists have sketched so many beautiful ladies (and a few gents) in our sessions. Now is your chance to see what has come of it all. On Saturday October 6, 2007 at 7:00pm the Austin Figurative Gallery is hosting an open show for all Sketchy artists. The AFS Gallery is located at 301 Chicon. Over a dozen artists have submitted their timed sketches from our past events. Come check them out! Barter, sell, or trade sketches! Mingle with the models! Meet that hottie you have been stalking online! We’ll spring for the keg, you guys just come out and enjoy with us. Exhibit: One Night Only! So tell your friends. This is a big “thank you” to our artists and sponsors from your Dr. Sketchy Austin organizers, Miss D, Nathan and Jessica! Hope to see you there! Forgot to submit your work? Just bring it, we will hang it. No worries!

Lunch Ladies. You heard me right. Lunch Ladies. They are a conglomeration of performers, artists, professionals, and just a bunch of wacky hot chicks who like to give mad props to Lunch Ladies. I can’t emphasize enough how awesome this is going to be. Expect madcap fun and lots of jokes about “mystery meat”. The details: When: August 18th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm (NOTE: The times have moved up an hour.) You can reserve a table for $15 or a chair for $10. Drop an email to MissD@austinsketchy.com to get on the list. Also, I hate to mention it, but we are going to have to ask y’all not to take photographs at the Dr. Sketchy’s. Our models are posing for life drawing. If you want to arrange for a photography session you should talk to them directly. Looking forward to it, and see y’all on the 18th! PS - There are a lot of updates on our flickr group. Check ‘em out!
Have we got a treat for y’all.

Since we are honoring Bastille Day, expect silly accents and some “French themed” contests. Let’s see, what are the French known for? Ah yes, toast, kissing, baguettes and fries. I’m sure we will figure something out.
DJ Hucklebuck will be spinning records for us all evening.

Upcoming Art Openings
Tuesday ~ July 07, 2007 by Nathan Black Posted in Announcements
There are a number of Austin Dr. Sketchy artists with art openings in the next few days/weeks. Kevin Peake is opening a show this Wednesday at Amys Ice Cream on 6th from 3:30-6:30 with free ice cream. It is called Robots n’ Hot Rods, so you can’t miss it. Michael Schliefke is hosting “Taking Life Seriously” a three man show in the prestigious Bolm Studios along with Ian Shults and Dan Morrison. More details at the Taking Life Seriously website. He also has paintings up in the original Kerby Lane through the Month of July. Gallery Lombardi is hosting the Radical Nautical show with an opening on August 2nd. It features many Dr. Sketchy’s artists including Jason Chalker, Kristin Hogan and yours truly. Also a heads up, we are still on for the 21st and our models will be lovely ladies from the Jigglewatts burlesque troupe. As soon as we have the location locked down we will make a more formal announcement. In celebration of Bastille Day, the theme will be, well, let’s just say French. As a warm up I’ll be showing Scopitones at the Rio Rita on July 14th if you want to hang out and watch some awesome 60s risque French music videos.
Great Session!

Hey y’all, What a great time! I can’t speak for everyone, but I had a blast. Bon Bon Vivant was awesome. Thanks again to Varietease for putting us in contact with her. DJ Hucklebuck kept our toes tapping and the great songs spinning. Also thanks to our sponsors this month: The Lowbrow Emporium, Jerry’s Art-a-rama and our home base Beerland, Texas. Like I mentioned on the mic, the gallery on the site here wasn’t working great, so I set up a Flickr group. Check it out at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/austinsketchy and add pictures of your work for the world to see. Peace and Hair Grease, Nathan Black

Recap: Broken Clock Cabaret
Friday ~ March 03, 2007 by Nathan Black Posted in Recaps
Hey folks, the last Dr. Sketchy’s was fantastic, we had brawling Vegas showgirls, a girl and her dancing bear, a double strip tease in one minute quick sketches, extortion at bear-point, a mysterious hobo, birthday cupcakes, and all the while Tom Waits crooning in the back ground. Pictures up on the gallery. Flyer Contest Results: First off, we got two submissions for our flyer contest, and they were both fantastic. So both Kristin Hogan of Dead Squirrel Girl Comics and Hank St. John have won! I’ll post pictures of the posters just as soon as I get a chance. The prize is two free Austin Sketchy sessions of their choosing. We also decided to keep the ‘contest’ open, but change it to if you give us a useable flyer, you get your next session free. One prize per artist. Next Sketchy: April 21st with the Spank Dance Company.
