Dr. Sketchy
Last week, Becky asked me if I would like to come to the Dr. Sketchy event going on at the Akron Art Museum to take some photographs. The event was really inspiring! The place was filled with interesting strangers, there was a great band performing, and the Dr. Sketchy event was well attended.
Here’s Becky! (She’s the one wearing the hat below.)
As much as I talk about moving to Chicago, I really do love Akron and could be very happy staying here. In the past 10 years, the city has changed for the better. There’s an acclectic mix of people, a love of the arts, a great music scene, fun nightlife, and beautiful homes. Not to mention killer thrift stores.
Sometimes I can be terribly shy when I’m the only person I know in a room full of strangers, but I would love to go to the next Dr. Sketchy event, and this time I’ll bring my sketch pad.
i’ve been wanting to go to dr sketchy events in houston…but i haven’t b/c i’m intimidated & shy. maybe i will next time.
this is so interesting! i’ve never heard of it! i just looked and they have an atlanta branch. This makes me miss art school and my figure drawing classes. :-) Hey, i just might check this out! thanks for sharing, mandi! I love how there’s sort of a mix of burlesque (we apparently have a pretty cool burlesque/cabaret scene here) with creating art. Definitely intrigues. :-)
Loved your photos! Looks like it was a great event!
My fave thing about Akron is vegeteranean. Yum!
I love all your work.
