I Love Lamp

Happy New Year!!! 2011 is here and yet commercial available jetpacks are not. Well, at least we have Real Dolls. I'm just waiting for ones that look like Jane Fonda.

Here's an older Dr. Sketchy's from before Christmas with the lovely Sister Madly.

Joie de Vivre

I did my first Dr. Sketchy's last night. For the uninitiated, it's life drawing with Burlesque girls and booze. The venue, Guilt & Co, was pretty cool, though they were out of Steak Tartar. It's been a long time since I've life drawn and I definitely struggled to find my groove again. Kicked in around the 5 minute poses though I started to overwork the 10 minute ones. The model was the lovely Cara Milk who did a great job and even did a quick burlesque number as an intermission. The biggest challenge with drawing burlesque is what to do focus on each pose. There's the pose/gesture, but there's also the clothing/details, the pattern/texture and the lighting/shine. One of the unscanned drawings won a sketchbook for being too French in a cartoony/funny way. Bully for me!I already bought my ticket to the next one.
