Bienvenue to le Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Blog! At the last session, we went back in time and location to Paris during the fin de siècle, the heyday of the Moulin Rouge, when anything could happen, especially if it involved syphilis! It was there that we met

Hello, Art Monkeys! At the last session of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, we did our tribute to the club scene of the early 90’s, with dancing and drugs and drinking and drawing and destruction and death and dismemberment and desire and despair and delirium and destiny and dream! And playing the king of the club kids himself, Michael Alig, was burlesque star Madame Rosebud.
Welcome back, Art Monkeys! We had a very special session recently, celebrating our fourth year of Dr. Sketchy’s. According to the first website I found, the traditional gift for a fourth anniversary is flowers. Here at Dr. Sketchy’s, we decided fuck that. We’re giving you breasts. So, to that end, we brought in the fantastically hot Rogizoid, who, while not technically a flower, does have breasts. Everyone was a lot happier that way.
Today is the solstice. The days will be getting longer as the sun is reborn. No matter what form your celebration of this season takes, we here at Dr. Sketchy’s wish you happiness and peace. In that spirit, Keith Jenson has made a video showcasing the previous year of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, with music by The Two Man Gentlemen Band (thetwogentlemen.com). Enjoy.
It’s time for another edition of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Blog.
As sophisticated, cultured individuals, we here at Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School have diverse interests and vivid, active imaginations. Among our interests are video games and naked women. John, for instance, has spent so much time playing The Legend of Zelda that he and Link are now considered married by common law. I, on the other hand, have a collection of over a half-dozen naked women that I keep in my closet for various occasions. Naturally, when we put our heads together, it occurred to us to try to combine our very different passions. If only Link were a beautiful woman who… took off her clothes! It was just crazy enough to work! And she would not just be any woman, but one of our favourites to see without clothes on, Justine Joli! Thus, a magical union was born between Nintendo and breasts. Join us, won’t you, for an enchanted adventure into nudity.
Greetings, art monkeys! This is your good friend Syd, back with another installment of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Blog. It’s good to be back! How have you been? Is that a new haircut? It looks good on you!
At our last session, we ventured deep into the uncharted depth of the Slipper Room. Our journey was fraught with peril. As you can see, all that remained of the last expedition was a skull, some flowers and a book from our beloved sponsors at Baby Tattoo Books. Rumour had it that a sea witch’s domain was there - a seductive, deadly sea witch, who was also Allison of RockLove Jewelry. We brought along two photographers - regular photographer Justin Lussier and auxiliary photographer Steve Prue - in case one of them didn’t make it back.
Howdy folks! John Leavitt here, back for a super-powerful session of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. In our 4th Art Star show, the stunning Darenzia and Nicholas acted out scenes from Craig Yoe’s ‘Secret Indenity“, a new book all about the underground fetish drawings of Superman Co-Creator Joe Shuster. It’s like we brought a whole bunch of Tijuana bibles and Slashfic to life. Our Moms must be so proud. More BANG for your KAPOW after the jump. Photos by Justin Lussier.
Oh hi, Art Monkeys! It’s time once again for us to pay tribute to Molly’s ultrafamous artist friends with part 3 of our Art Star series. This time, we saluted Tara McPherson (whose art can be seen above this very paragraph!) Playing the part of one of Tara’s absenthearted protagonists was the slender coppertop we know and love as Stormy Leather.
Stormy Leather is almost sickeningly beautiful. Seriously, this borders on uncomfortable levels of pulchritude.
On the night following the holiest day in the Hebrew calendar, Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School celebrated Molly reaching some large, round number of Twitter followers with a secret Dr. Sketchy’s session in Times Square. Molly announced the time and place on Twitter. Little Brooklyn modelled for the session and Justin Lussier took photos, as did special guest photographer Caitlin Field. Just take a look at one of Caitlin’s photos:
These are but some of the literally multiple art monkeys who braved the water that was falling from the sky to come to the session.
And this is the model, Little Brooklyn, who had cleverly blended into her surroundings by disguising herself as a pigeon.
Hello, Art Monkeys! Welcome back to Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art Blog! Our market research has shown that there is a large overlap between artists and sporting fans, particularly fans of professional wrestling. In our last session, we tried to capitalize on this by taking you backstage with the mysterious man known as Manko, whom we imported all the way from the Mexican district of London.
Our dual photographers Justin Lussier and Steve Prue shot a full shitload of pictures of this session. I have edited that amount down to about a quarter of a shitload.
I think Manko left his fly open. How embarrassing!
Dr. Sketchy's is the little Brooklyn art class that became a movement. Started in 2005 as a boozy, burlesquey alternative to your typical life-drawing class, Dr. Sketchy's has spread faster than syphilis. There are now 30 branches around the world, from Hollywood to London to Tokyo.
