In case you didn't know, burlesque is back. At least among hipsters in New York, where several spots — among them the Slipper Room, the Cutting Room and Galapagos Art Space — host burlesque nights featuring retro-cool chicks shaking their shimmies in lace and pasties. Professional illustrator Molly Crabapple takes it a step further with Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, a life-drawing class founded "on the principles of fair pay for models and boozy fun for all. Artists draw burlesque dancers, compete in contests, and win liquor and prizes." In just a year, the New York Dr. Sketchy's has spawned 10 chapters in four countries.Molly's first book, Dr. Sketchy's Official Rainy Day Colouring Book, will be published later this month. You may enjoy this lesson on how to Draw (Breasts) the Dr. Sketchy Way.
Dr. Sketchy's Official is (or will be) available from Sepulculture Books.
