Here's the down-low: Dr. Sketchy's started in New York and has branched out throughout the U.S...Basically, this once-a-month or so event combines burlesque, a bar, and sketch pads for a fun day of figure drawing.
Today's event featured Tomahawk Tassels, a beautiful woman in tongue-in-cheek Native American garb. (She did a whole schpiel before she modeled about her choice of costume...she's actually quite savvy and smart--pointed out the irony of it all, etc.)
It was all very kitschy and 40s and whatnot, but the reality is, she was a great model. For me, it was rejuvenating....I haven't done any figure drawing in about 18 years (drawing was my major in art school). Getting out of the suburban bubble and exercising the power of my pencil made me feel great!
I was also pleasantly surprised to find the Northeast Arts District in Minneapolis looking so good. Made me want to pick up and settle in there.
What a fantastic way to exercise my creativity today. My goal now is to find a figure drawing class every week. What is your goal? How do you flex your creative muscle?

Jean, that was too much fun and way more work than I remembered! Your sketches are GREAT!!!
I was SO glad you were game to come, Annie. You did a great job! I think the setting and subject made it much easier to get the rust out. We definitely need to do that again. I'm actually looking at Monday night figure drawing at ArtiCulture or the Florence Hill Co-op on Sundays from 2-5. I'll let you know!
