In conversation a few weeks ago I learned about a drawing group called 'Dr. Sketchy's Anti-art School'... basically a bunch of people get together every now and then, usually at a bar or nightclub, hire models to dress in wild costumes and take poses not normally found in a classic life-drawing session.
The costuming can be anything and everything... from vintage pin-up calendar girl, burlesque, cabaret, circus, animé, drag, horror - pretty much anything goes. The bar is open and the music goes on all evening... I was so excited to have discovered the group - sounded like a blast. Alas, the Toronto Dr. Sketchy's finished up last August after a run of almost 3 yrs.
Montreal and NYC are still active, so maybe I'll pack up my pencils and try to get into one of their sessions.
