Valentine’s Day with Houston Sketchy – how sweet!

•February 8, 2010 • Leave a Comment

Houston Dr. Sketchy likes you more than a box of chocolates.  More than a pile of Red Hots.  Even more than a strawberry cupcake with chocolate icing on top.

All that to say…  we really think you’re neat and we’d really love to be your Valentine this Sunday!!  Join your favorite Sketchy peeps and lovely model Keira for an afternoon of drawing, drinking and debauchery.

Don’t have a date and want to give the finger to corporate America’s bizarre holiday inventions?  Come to Sketchy!!  Have a hot date and need something to do before a fancy schmancy dinner?  Come to Sketchy!!

What: Houston Sketchy Valentine’s Day Drawing Party
Where: Upstairs at Avant Garden (411 Westheimer)
When: Sunday, February 14th  2-6pm

NOTE!!! This month’s Sketchy will be a bit different in format, the first half of the event will be photographer friendly — the second half is sketching only.  So be sure to bring your sketchpads and pencils!

Thanks for an AMAZING start to 2010 to all of our wunderbahr Houston Sketchy artists and pals.

Our model Jen was DIVINE (as if she could be anything else) and we had our biggest turnout of any Houston Sketchy yet!  Jonathan from Beaver’s brought by some delicious treats and a fantastic time was had by all.

Next month’s session is a very special Valentine’s Day edition – join us on the Big Day February 14th from 2-6pm.

If you’ve been missing out, here is a gorgeous collection of some of our top Flickr photos from the last 2 years, all courtesy of our divine artists and photographers in our Houston Sketchy Flickr group.  We love you guys!

We had our very first multi-model Houston Dr. Sketchy this month and… and… and…  well, just look at some of these smoking hot photos to get an idea of the merriment that was had!

Photo thanks to Groovehouse!

Our rocking sponsor was Beaver’s Restaurant and Fearless Foxy Chef Jonathan even graced our stage for a pose or two!!

We ate cookies, had naughty cooking poses, a sexy slumber party and loads of gifts to unwrap under our Sketchy tree:

Beaver’s + Sketchy (it’s a restaurant, people)

Know what goes better with Dr. Sketchy than the amazingly good concoctions out of Beaver’s Houston kitchen?

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!  That was totally a trick question.

This month’s snacks are provided by Beaver’s Houston – one of our absolute, absolute favorite restaurants in town.  What a perfect way to end the Sketchy year –  the rock stars (word up, JJ) of Beaver’s filling our starving artist bellies.

Drop them a line to let them know how much you love them:
