For info and tickets go to drsketchyamsterdam.nl or www.amsterdamburlesque.nl Dr. Sketchy's is an Alternative Life Drawing event - it's a Burlesque Show followed by a series of short poses so you can sketch away these beautiful femme fatales from another era. You don't have to be an experienced artist to come to Dr. Sketchy's, just bring your drawing materials and your good cheer and join in the fun! Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School was founded in New York in 2005 by art school drop-out Molly Crabapple. She created an event celebrating the female form through a fun mix of cabaret-style performance and drawing class, at which everyone is welcome, established artists and enthusiastic amateurs alike. By now there are over a hundred Dr. Sketchy's all over the globe, and starting September 16th 2011 there will be one in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This branch is run from the already estab! lished burlesque scene, headed by Marco 'Charley' Buschman, and sponsored by the comics scene through Lambiek, the oldest comics store in the world, and its representative Margreet de Heer, alongside the singer of Dutch goth-rockers Delain - Charlotte Wessels.
