Pencils a Blazing

This weekend I got to hook up with Bluster and Gemma at Dr. Sketchy's. I told them about it recently and they were all excited to go. I showed up a bit late (oh yes the MTA is the BESTEST!!!!....ah no). I really think the MTA takes a break on the weekends just like we all try to but they suceed at it. So anyways, like I said I got there a bit late but it was good non the less and to see how much they enjoyed it made me even happier. I would never want to refer my team to something that I would not enjoy myself. So here are some pics from the event. and I suggest if you have time to go for an event do so. Also here's the link for Dr. Sketchy's. Check out their blog and I've included a introduction video from their site.

The Hyena happy to see I was puntcual

Sorry for the blur but the site will show you much better pics from that event. It ain't easy to draw, sketch, drink beer and talk simultaneously...well actually it is but I need an excuse for a crappy pic.

My Sketch

This was also another sketch prior to all three. This is of the girl in the luchadores mask. When I showed up it was during their "half time" show. It can vary from musical acts to burlesque. The one on the left did a burlesque dance with these feathers like in the 1920's. Really dope!! The one in the ponytails was juggling flaming rods and for her finale put the rod in her mouth to put it out...uhmmm yeah quite the show!!

Anti Art - Art

Recently I was surprised with a ticket to go to Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School from my wife. It completely threw me off only because I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean the normal kind of routine can take it's toll on a person but this was out of the ordinary and truly a breath of fresh air. I had the opportunity to sit next to 2 very talented people at the bar. One brother was exceptionally nice when it came to paint brush and ink, the other used a uniball pen which amazed me at the amount of detail he captured. I enjoyed it and even though my sketches are a bit on the rough side and the next time going I will be mentally prepared to put in some work and have fun. I saw people using water color, pastels and colored pencils. Here are a couple of pics I took that day but I also have pictures that I grabbed off their blog. After going through their site its cool to know that these classes take place through out the country. It made me think of my experiences in school. Being surrounded by talent pushes you harder to improve your skill, steel sharpens steel.

These are pics from their blog, they use different models at each event and even have themes for role play.

Alien dress upA little bit of Girls and Guns never hurt anybody
Wolverine & Mystique X-Men role play

As you can see the room gets crowded pretty quick so it's good to show up a bit early to get a good seat. This was an different event from the blog but it give you a feeling of the room.

This was my seating since I got there 10 mintues after opening.

I don't usually drink PBR's and now for certain PBR's do not chase Hennessey very well.

Peace and a Happy Birthday to our brother Alyasha from the MG Fam!!
