Dr. Sketchy's Northampton Cracked the Nut!

December's session featured a saucy toy soldier and snowflake ballerina modeling their little hearts out to the sounds of totally decent christmas punk and indie songs and the scratching of pencil to paper. Our tattoo yourself or someone else (making friends!) contest was particularly hilarious, and contest winners were treated to awesome goodies from our sponsors: the artists at Lucky's Tattoo and Piercing - who donated a $50 gift certificate, topatoco.com - who donated a sweet Bake'n'Bake apron and a hilarious book of comics by Kate Beaton, Oh My! Sensuality Shop - donating their signature classy and not-so-classy adult toys, and mymonsterhat.com - with some adorable handmade finger puppets and a snowmonster hat. And, thanks also to Chameleons Salon, who did our ballerina's hair up in a blizzard of sparkles, feathers, snowflakes, and other craziness. Thanks to everyone who came, and as always, my wonderful art monkeys for their help!

New Sponsors!

Baby Tattoo Books is an LA-based company that sponsors Dr. Sketchy's as a whole and puts out sweet art books and graphic novels. Check 'em out at babytattoo.com

topatoco.com is a really cool local business that sells shirts, art, comics, tote bags and other fun crap; many of the products by fine fine local artists and illustrators, and we're really glad to have them on board. Last month Dr. Sketchy's Noho contest winners enjoyed a fabulous book by illustrator Kate Beaton (jealous!) and a Bake 'n' bake apron from topatoco. Can't wait to see what they out with next!

And as always, we are so grateful to our sponsors, who make Dr. Sketchy's just that much cooler. Please check all 'dem out, they're guaranteed to be good things.

Next week we'll have pictures up of our December session, which was chock full of randy holiday spirit and elicited some seriously excellent drawings from our attendees. Hope to see y'all Friday, January 7th for our super-fantastic Pajama Party at the Elevens!
