Dr. Sketchy's Grand Rapids ~ Lula Loops

After hours of laboring over my sketchbook, back in my dark and steamy corner of the Sazerac Lounge last night, I relaxed and scribbled a little portrait of petite and lovely Lula Loops with more energy and freshness in it than all my other drawings combined.

So I scanned it and added some color.

Dr. Sketchy's Grand Rapids: March 2012

Recent Dr. Sketchy sketches, featuring the wonderful juggling gunslinger, Will Oltman.

(Note: Will did not actually pose in a bikini; that was an entry in the "draw him as a her" contest.)

Dr. Sketchy's Grand Rapids: Feb. 2012

Had a great time at the Sazerac Lounge in Grand Rapids last Sunday for Dr. Sketchy's: A Black Heart Valentine. I made a serious effort to loosen up a bit, inspired by the immense amount of creativity at these events.

Dr. Sketchy's Grand Rapids

I had a great time this past Sunday night with two friends, attending Dr. Sketchy's in Grand Rapids. Our model was Maria LaGrave, a beautiful woman with an outstanding ability to hold poses for an amazing length of time. She was a real pleasure to draw!

Dr. Sketchy's Grand Rapids

Had a great time last night at the Sazerac Lounge in Grand Rapids for a Dr. Sketchy's session...I felt pretty rusty but copious amounts of alcohol, crazy music and bawdy behavior by the hosts and model and rest of the art monkeys made it all okay...
