Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art School and ESDIP Berlin proudly present our 8th SALON SESSION

Again we offer you a cozy venue, music, drinks, and an intimate atmosphere. So join us for two and a half hours of life-drawing with the absolutely exquisite TRONICAT LA MIEZ - who will be showing a tad more skin than usual.

When? Thursday April 11th 2013 / 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm (doors open at 7:45 pm)
Where? at ESDIP Coworkingspace Berlin / Grünberger Straße 48 (in den Grünberger Höfen 44-48) Friedrichshain
How much? Just a lousy 10 Euros! (tickets at the door)

Bring your own Pillow! We're not kidding! There aren't that many chairs available at ESDIP, so be sure to bring a pillow or cushion with you so that you can set up a comfortable seat on the floor to draw from.

Don't forget your drawing supplies! The types of materials allowed are any dry materials, like pencils, charcoals, pastels, as well as wax pencils and crayons. (Watercolors are okay too!)
If you're lucky, we may still have a small selection of drawing utensils available (for a small price) at the venue for last-minute attendees. But don't count on it!

Some drawings from our last evening at the Studio 70. We will miss our dearly-loved little Sketchy Lounge. Sniff... :(

Friends! Fans! Bohemians!

We very much regret having to announce to you all that our cozy little nest of a secret Salon Session venue near Hermannplatz will no longer be available to us as of January 2013. This is why we have rather suddenly decided that we simply must have one last session there! We're a tad sentimental, you know... *sniff*

Again we offer you a cozy venue, music, drinks, an intimate atmosphere and enough room for each guest. So join us for two and a half hours of life-drawing with the absolutely exquisite MOPSY MEYERS - who will be showing a tad more skin than usual.

The session will be on December 17th, 2012, 8pm-10:30pm (doors open 7:45pm) in our clandestine Venue at Hermannplatz. If you are interested in joining us, simply send an email with the subject heading "Salon Session VII" to drsketchyberlin@gmail.com

Admission is 10 EURO. THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO 28! First come - first served. (There will be no prepayment this time. So PLEASE do only send us an mail if you're REALLY planning to come.)

Don't miss it, folks!

Beloved Sponsor - we salute you!

I thought this might be of interest for some of you. Our founder, Molly Crabapple, is releasing a new book shortly. It's called Devil in the Details and it covers her illustrations and paintings over the past few years, with a forward from Margaret Cho.

It's currently available for pre-order now on Amazon.com at an unheard of 50% discount at the moment.

Hi Folks!

Here's a little documentary about Dr Sketchy from 2009. It took the producers a while to finish it, but they finally made it. It is maybe a little out of date at this point, but it's still a great window in the past and fun to share.

Featuring:
Molly Crabapple
John Leavitt
Akynos
Pandora
Veronica Varlow
Melody Sweets
Darenzia
Julia Fragias
Gal Friday
Amber Ray
Bella Vendetta
Trixie Little
The Evil Hate Monkey

Due to a communication failure with our friends from the White Trash the Restaurant is already blocked on sunday Feb 26th. So we have to move to another venue for once. This means the session will take place at the KOOKABURRA COMEDY CLUB

It's vis-à-vis the WT on the other side of the street. Everything else (times, entrance etc.) stays the same!

In einer einmaligen Werkshow zeigt Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin, Arbeiten von zwölf ausgewählten Illustratoren und Künstlern, die in den Sessions der letzten zwei Jahre entstanden sind

24 | 12 | one - Dr. Sketchy's Exhibition zeigt neben den Fotografien von Nina Zimmermann aus dem dokumentarischen Werk über Dr. Sketchy, eine Vielzahl an Skizzen und Illustrationen, deren künstlerische Palette vom Comic über Aquarell bis zur Collage reicht. Während die ausstellenden Künstler von realistischen Abbildern des Dargestellten bis hin zu provokativen Zeichnungen die Performances aufgreifen, zeigt die Fotografin Arbeiten von großer Sensibilität für das Thema und lenkt den Blick des Betrachters vorbei an den Klischees des Burlesque.

Es stellen aus:

Ursula Dietz – Jakob Schuh – Naomi Fearn – Elizabeth Hepworth – Reinhard Kleist – Michael Kockelkorn Katharina Nesterowa – Laura Carleton – Matthias Pflügner – Steffi Schütze – Daniela Uhlig
