Jailbird

Crims, felons and crooks. Your recent crimes have earned you time behind bars, and behind sketchpads, at our night of drinking and drawing.

Our starring convict is bad girl Jesika Rabid. This jailhouse jezebel has a guilty look in her eyes and killer curves. Oh yes, she's definitely gonna steal your heart.

Wicked warden Rosie Reckless will keep a look out for trouble makers. Some of you scumbags may receive additional punishments… or perhaps just prizes.

Costumes encouraged! Mugshots for everyone!

Our sponsors have been found guilty of being awesome. Absolution, Madam Butterfly’s Vintage Style Boutique and international Dr. Sketchy's sponsor Baby Tattoo Books.

Madonna of the Bowling Green

We got into the groove of 2012 with an ode to the queen of pop and (at times, somewhat sketchy) style icon: Madonna. Desperately Sketching Susan had our art monkeys scrabbling for tickets, resulting in a packed house to welcome our diva-licious demi-goddess - Willow Noir. Willow made a special trip down from the windy shores of Wellington to model and perform for us and we were utterly stoked to have her!

 The Madonna of the Bowling Green: Willow Noir

Thrice as nice! Lady Madonnas: The light side, the dark side and the holy-moly-beejeezus-you'll-take-someone's-eye-out-with-those-cone-boobs-of-glory side! (In other news: Rosie's Reckless lazer-tits trend continues)

Strike a pose! 

Willow's first performance, touched us (for the very first time) as she sashayed around the room and shimmied into something a little more... sketchable.

Many a Chch art monkey became enamoured of our model. She had us wrapped around her lace-gloved finger!

Willow answered our prayers as a stunning model and cheeky performer!

Like an Icon, Willow rocked a costume change and provided plenty of thrust and grind in her second performance.

For more information on Willow Noir - glamorous pin up model, entertainer and all round good time girl - find her on facebook.

Our resident paparrazi-perv, Paige Turner and the winner of our embellishment drawing competition. We challenged our art monkeys to illustrate the new scandal being splashed across gossip-rags about Madonna (We only wish it were true!)

Best. Suprise. Boobie prize. Ever.

Facebook says no to nipples. We choose to say "YES PLEASE! Let glorious nipples reign supreme; this ain't the Superbowl!"

Our material girl musing.

It's great to be back and in the flow of sketchy shenanigans once more! For more photos and a update from the Chch Sketchy girls, find us on facebook.

We thank our lucky stars for our sponsors - Absolution Tattoo and Body Piercing, Madam Butterfly's Vinstage Style Boutique and international sponsor Baby Tattoo Books!

Simmering Summer Debut

For us antipodeans; December is a month held dear for reasons far beyond gift exchanging, tinsel and Christmas trees. It heralds our long awaited summer! Hemlines rise, flesh is bared (sans-goosebumps) and beer becomes even MORE palatable.

To usher in the new season (and lead by exmaple) Honey Van Hooch shon on our stage. She was a luscious, langorous and golden muse for our art monkeys to sketch rhapsodically. With a tipsy nod to some particular artistic forebears, Honey sashayed in summer with a bohemian feel - all curves, swish and style.

Tawdry, turban askew, maintained the essential levels of libertinism...

Honey Van Hooch's burlesque debut was a knock-out *swoon!*

Sultry and flirtatious, Honey serenaded us with her rendition of Kiss Me.

Laid back... we just need some gin and juice. Or is it absinthe and chianti?

Paige turner - paparrazzi and prize-picture-picker! The winner was a lucky recipitent of a Baby Tattoo book! Rosie Reckless played relatively-respeonsible and hosted the nights proceedings - hostess with the most-ess!

Our summer lovin' group pose. No bohemian event is complete without a little saucy sift-sharing, surely?

Tawdry wraps her tongue around suggestive syllables in an attempt to procure some Hoochy. Honey is titillated, but not so easily persuaded.

For her second performance, Honey removed some layers - elevating the temperature of the room to hot hot hot!

Honey Van Hooch - what a debut!

Honey can be our golden girl, anytime!

Too Much(a) art geekery?

With assets like these, why would one ever wear clothes?!

 Our final session of the year finished us us all well warmed up and gasping for more Hoochy hawtness. Stay tuned to see more of this bombshell in the future!

We'll be taking a break over the silly season; but the crew will be back and rearing to go with more sketchy shenanigans for 2012. The Sketchy girls of Christchurch would like to extend an enormous thankyou to our art monkeys for dressing up, showing up, supporting us and our array of  beautiful performers and being generally awesome. You've helped justify Tawdry's ridiculous costume collection, Rosie's deviant design work  and Paige's predilection for photographs of gorgeous bottoms for yet another year!

We'd like to thank our wonderful sponsors for keeping us rolling in brilliant prizes:

Absolution Tattoo and Body Piercing:  for delicious ink and shiny sharp things to adorn ourselves with.
Madame Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique: keep us and our art monkeys sassy and sexy in gorgeous vintage clothing.
Gordon Harris Art Supplies: ensure we keep on sketching in multudinous mediums (not just perving).

And last but certainly not least - our international sponsor: Baby Tattoo Books, who supply us with stunning publications that need to be pried out of our grabby hands at each event.
