Dr. Sketchy’s Anti Art School: Baltimore

A livelier life drawing event, Dr. Sketchy’s is where artists of all levels draw fabulous burlesque and variety performers! Enjoy delicious cocktails and a performance by the model, and compete in zany drawing contests to win free drinks and other awesome prizes! We’ll start off with quick 1- and 2-minute gesture poses and gradually move up to 20-minute sketches. No drawing experience is necessary; just bring your own drawing materials—and cash tips for our model—and join us for some fun figure sketching practice!

For our October session, we’re excited to have nerdlesque superstar Maki Roll, who’s got a few spectacular and spooky looks in store for this event!

Here’s more about our October muse:
Maki Roll is an award winning performance artist, event coordinator, and pop culture entrepreneur. The Washington, D.C., native started her creative journey in 2010 as a cosplayer and nerdlesque performer and soon branched out to guesting, hosting, and curating programming for conventions and nerdy events. Maki combines her geekiness and self-taught artistic skill to build innovative performance and visual art experiences across mediums. She has been featured by NPR, MTV, ESPN’s The Undefeated, and The Mary Sue. She is the current Executive Producer and Owner of the historic International Nerdlesque Festival and producer of DC Braulesque, a monthly Nerdlesque brewery experience at DC Brau.
