IV: Bacchanalian Night of Revelry

After a month of disaster, ruin and hundreds (no, really hundreds!) of aftershocks we were all ready for some uplifting sketchy revelry. The luscious demigoddess Lucille L'amour played muse for our hedonistic art monkeys in attendance.


The wine was flowing (as well as the Bodgie Beer for those more hops-inclined) to encourage indulgent misbehavior and toga staining.

Ms. Rosie Reckless cavorts with a myseterious trader from The East, what wonders does she bring to the table?

MC Hells Belle channelled the gorgon medusa and transfixed the audience with her many snakey gazes.

The devine Lucille L'amour

Debauched noblewoman, entrancing vision and feast for our art monkeys eyes... Lucille L'amour performs her routine to Grecian lounge music.

Our sketchers were adorned with vine wreaths and bedazzling jewels. They were affectionately harassed by the mischievous satyr in attendance - Billy Goat Elliot. He spent the night capering about Goodbye Blue Monday, tooting on pan-pipes and spreading merriment.

Lucille managed to escape without getting her leg humped by that rascally Billy. No mean feat!

Headmistress Tawdry Trainwreck shocked us all by keeping most of her body clad this eve. She'll be sure to make up for that at next month's Dr. Sketchy's… because our next event will be all about the GORE.

We are very happy to announce that all of our sponsors survived le shakes and lent their support, as ever, to our night of sordid art practice. Many thanks to the Flying Burrito Brothers, Absolution Tattoo and Body Piercing and Madame Butterfly's Vintage Style Boutique - we adore you! Another big thanks to our wonderful art monkeys for turning up - more in togas on a Thursday night in Crimeschurch than one would expect - and making this event brilliant.

Dr. Sketchy's IV: Bacchanalia! A Night of Ancient Revelry

Sketchy Citizens!

Thousands of years ago, in the time of the toga, the ancient people of Greece and Rome would gather in groves and celebrate, often for days on end.

With our city in ruins around us, we have the perfect excuse for hedonistic excess. Join us for a night of bacchanalian revelry, where we'll invoke the gods of wine and indulgence. We'll partake in sketching rituals and draw upon ancient myths and legends.

Speaking of legends, our toga clad muse and performer is Lucille L'Amour. Her burlesque theatrics will surely please the gods, sparing our city from further decay. Come to drink, to draw … and to worship her.

This is a life drawing class like no other. Drinking! Drawing! Debauchery!

This event is possible because our sponsors make special sacrifices for us: Absolution Tattoo & Body Piercing, Madam Butterfly’s Vintage Style Boutique, and The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Doors open 6.30pm. Our first pose is at 7.30pm. Get in early for the best sketching spot.

Tickets $10 plus booking fee. Pre-sales available from Wednesday 22 September from Cosmic Corner High Street or online via Cosmic Ticketing.

We would like to advise there is no photography at this event. BYO drawing materials so you can document all our models and creatures.
