Organized and hosted by the lovely Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy's is a cabaret themed life drawing session for the anti-art school kids. Who doesnt love burlesque, booze and boobs! Well Molly has been hosting these artists themed Dr. Sketchy's sessions lately with folks such as David Stoupakis and Ron English, and she asked me to do one as well. Of course I jumped at the chance to see one of my characters come to life like that. All I had to do was show up and behold the wonder!


Here is the make-up artist working on the amazing model Stormy Leather...


Final fixings...


And she's ready for the stage! Pics are by David Godichaud.






My favorite pic of them all.
















The ladies come together!


Signing some prints for the give away prizes!


Some drawings




What an awesome crowd!


Of course it wouldn't be complete without some drinking contests...


With Molly, hostest w the mostest.


And with Stormy! It was amazing to see one of my characters in real life. It was completely surreal... Afterwards we went to dinner, she left her make up on, and I couldnt stop laughing in amazement... I love it! One of the coolest nights ever...
