A Little Bird Told Me...

that my UK peeps should highly consider purchasing advance tickets to this orgy of sketching decadence to take place in a few weeks in London.

Yes, I'll be there, along with the lights of the London Cabaret Scene.

Piece for the Sex Lives of Animals Show at the Museum of Sex

2008-07-23T17:24:48Z

It's hanging till Spring '09. And remember, the devil's in the details

I'm on the Diana Cage show tonight

2008-07-22T18:52:52Z

For anyone who has SIRIUS, I'm going to be live on the Diana Cage show tonight on OutQ Radio at 11pm.

Here's the eternally progressing piece for the Museum of Sex, now with colour!

Will probably not have a good night's sleep till October

This week....

1. My 5-person show opens at Ad Hoc this Friday. My hands are still cut up and paint smeared from framing it. You can see the pieces I'm showing here, and read the Bust.com writeup of it.

2. This Saturday, the gorgeous Akynos is posing in NYC for Dr. Sketchy's. Akynos looks like a COOP drawing come to life, and is more beautiful than most of us deserve. It's also her birthday. I recommend getting a drawing

3. But in San Diego, where I will be, in the flourescent geek-maw of Comic-Con, we're also doing a Dr. Sketchy's, with the Gallery Girls no less. You should come.

Tired!

2008-07-14T16:58:17Z

We shot five hours of Dr. Sketchy's documentary yesterday, and the absinthe sketchy's the day before.

Today, Revelin is shooting some series on New Yorkers.

I'm beat.

Would I lose my crumb of serious artist cred if I was shot for the series wearing what I actually paint in? Ie- pj's and pigtails?

Hey Comrades,

1. I'm tabling at Booth #433!

For the first time ever, I have my own wee table at Comic-Con, in the depraved X-Sanguin booth. I'm sharing space with legendary gig artists R. Black, Brian Ewing, and Bawidaminn. There's a photo area at the booth, and I'll be doing a few mini Dr. Sketchy's during the Con. See me Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

3. X-Sanguin VII

In the escalating conflict between humanity and the vampire nations, the humans turned to science and genetics as a secret weapon. They never foresaw the mutation of the virus now threatening both populations with extermination.
The Virus that humans first thought of as their savior, has become a pandemic plight on the world, now known as the
"Kharon Strain."

It was raining....

2008-07-11T15:52:59Z

during the last session of Dr. Sketchy's that Lady J posed for. So we all ran outside and jumped around like drunk monkeys. And Gary Winter shot it

And yes, Steve Walker is usually surrounded by women.

Museum of Sex Piece- Progress Shot Two

2008-07-10T19:36:57Z

The pig-donkey-cow-elephant orgy that is our electoral season! In 4 feet of inky splendor. Just you wait till I colour this sucker and get a good scan.

Stayed out till 4AM last night with Gala Darling and Nubby Twiglet at the Box, and am thus useless today

Nick and the Imaginary Girl

2008-07-08T18:18:07Z

Nick is a total cool cat, and we're super happy that he'll be posing for Dr. Sketchy's in September. Here's a painting I did of him as part of the Box Series, with a made up rococo chick that is not part of any of his acts.

This Saturday- Dr. Sketchy's does Absinthe

2008-07-07T17:14:40Z

During the 19th century, absinthe was the muse of artists- the fuel of cancan halls- the drink of Paris and New Orleans. But, for much of the 20th century, absinthe has been banned in the US.

Until now. To celebrate the recent legalization of the Green Fairy, Le Tourment Vert and Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School present a life-drawing tribute to all things absinthe.

Artists will draw internationally renowned model Delirium Tremens in a sumptuous Moulin Rouge inspired set, and compete for prizes and surprises from le Tourment Vert.

Saturday, July 12,
3-6 pm,

at the Lucky Cat (245 Grand St, btw Driggs and Roebling)
Tickets are $10, or $15 for table seating, and are available at www.drsketchy.com

Looking for a London Floor to Sleep on

2008-06-29T17:54:13Z

Any of my friends live in London?

Have floorspace?

Looking for a place to crash between the 12th and 17th of August. I'll give you an original drawing for your trouble, and certainly do your dishes

2008-06-29T04:19:52Z

Absolutely badass Dr. Sketchy's today. Some sessions just kind of click between theme and crew, crowd and model, and the resulting warm-fuzziness is just a joy to experience. Fem Appeal always clicks.

In Edinburgh this summer, I'm performing in a continuous vaudeville show. They satanic emcee will steal two folks from the audience and I (in artist drag) will paint them while other acts perform. After a few acts do their thing, they'll release the rubes and I'll show the painting. Which may or may not be donkey fucking.

Started playing with artists drag.

And I decided that what you need to succeed in the highly competitive art field is a mustache.

Behold.

Let me Draw You at Shanghai Vice

2008-06-27T02:19:07Z

My favorite event producer Shien Lee is at it again, with a decadent, glamorous tribute to 20's Shanghei!

If you have been to Shien Lee's Dances of Vice events before, you know that, without exageration, they're among the best in New York. Come for the fabulously creative entertainment, the beautifully dressed crowds, on the co-mingling of so many different artists honing their skills in collaberation.

I'll be doing live, vintage-style caricatures of attendees.

Backstage Goes Dirty-er?

2008-06-26T15:06:35Z

I'm super excited to announce that me and John Leavitt just signed a deal with adult entertainment company Blowfish (for whom I did one of my most popular pieces of art), to do a 40 page story set in the world of Backstage. But not just any story- the absolutely scandelous tale of how Scarlet O'Herring made it to the top of vaudeville

Keep turned for details- and you can see the cover at San Diego Comic-Con

Photos from the Coolest Job in World

2008-06-23T15:57:14Z

How much do I love working with the Box? Oh yes, yes indeed I do.

Here are photos of the giant theatrical backdrop they commissioned me to design for Bloomberg Company Summer Picnic.

I looked at these and nearly cried I was so happy.

mermaid parade + Bloomberg

2008-06-22T22:25:44Z

+ Yesterday the Dr. Sketchy's crew took over the Mermaid Parade. We were dressed as art monkeys, and generally jumped around, drew, waved banners and checked out the fabulousness on the altogether perfect day. Afterwords, me, Hilary and Mike dodged band aids in the Atlantic Ocean.

photo by Max Kovins. Art monkey, dammit. Not art mouse!

+ Then, I hauled my tired carcass to Randalls Island. The Box was running entertainment for this year's Bloomberg Company picnic, and I got to design a giant theatre curtain. Seeing my work 30 feet high was dizzying- more like a dream sequence than anything I ever expected to happen in real life. Pictures soon!

Guten Tag!

2008-06-19T15:38:28Z

Am trying to teach myself German, despite not liking the language, because I cannot stand to be in a country for more than two days as a mute, English-speaking 'tard.

If you've been to Berlin, please send your suggestions of cool stuff to do.

Vote for Dr. Sketchy's own Justin Lussier

2008-06-18T18:04:04Z

I'm a Lucky Git!

2008-06-16T01:41:14Z

This San Diego Comic-Con, you can see me at the coolest booth at the convention, sharing space with gig poster idols R. Black, Brian Ewing ang Bawidaminn. The booth is put on by events god Kevin Workman, who throws the depraved X-Sanguin afterparty every year. It's Booth #433.

I'm plugging this way in advance because I want to tell you to get your tickets. Not only are they things of beauty, but they sell out fast!
