In June, San Diego art monkeys got a double dose of late 1960s sexy sci-fi cheese!
On June 4, Dr. Sketchy’s was invited by the groovy folks at MoPA to hold a mini sketch class during their POP Thursdays Barbarella-themed party. The lovely LEIA posed in MoPA’s lobby, compelling party-goers to grab a pad and capture her intergalactic bodaciousnes.
Lucky monkeys! That’s wasn’t all! Leia reprises her role at our regular session on June 20, with Barbarella playing at the bar, music from the soundtrack playing, and pictures of beautiful blind angel Pygar decorating the stage!

The lovely Amelia wins again!
Presto – Barbarella is replaced with the Great Tyrant. “Pretty, pretty, pretty…”
We dragged Ruby Room co-owner Paul onstage to judge the “round robin” contests (teams of 4 art monkeys traded pads every 5 minutes).
Congrats to the winnas! Mmmm…booze.
Farewell art monkeys! We didn’t find Durand Durand, but it was awesome!
Some amazing sketches from our monkeys…Check out more in our flickr pool, and upload yours!

The folks at the Museum of Photographic Arts generously hosted us again for their POP Thursdays event. The theme film for this event was Tim Burton’s tribute to the worst filmmaker of all time, ED WOOD.
Mynx D’Meanor and Reverend Dick of Fishnet Follies Burlesque Revue lent their talents to pose as the legendary Ed Wood and his fuzzy-sweatered muse, Dolores Fuller.
The sketchers included Sketchy regulars and newbies who came to see the show and decided to try their hands at some art monkeying.
Ed gets ready to reveal his taste for angora and skirts!
Oh, the shame!
Special thanks to Reverend Dick, Mynx D’Meanor, and everyone at MoPA’s POP Thursdays, especially Jerald and Sue (below right)! See you kids again soon…

POP Thursdays at MoPA welcomed Dr. Sketchy’s for a special sketch session honoring their back to school theme move, Animal House. Sugar and Roxy of a bit o’ burlesque posed as TOGA PARTY revelers in tribute to Bluto and all of his sick Delta buddies.
No toga party is complete without a little drunken Twister!
Our revelers have lost the energy to finish their ping pong game…
Roxy and Peaches select their favorite drunken ping pong drawing…
The talented winner gets a free membership to MoPA!
Turn out the lights, the party’s over…
Some awesome sketchitude…
Special thanks to a bit o’ burlesque, Sue, Lauren, Jerald and everyone at MoPA, and all the attendees who tried their hands at this crazy sketchy thing. TOGA TOGA TOGA!!
