We miss you doubly much as we took an impromptu July summer vacation, so to console ourselves we’ve been going through some of the great photos and sketches you rock stars posted last month!

Do you have sketches, completed drawings or photos to share?  Be sure to check out our Houston Dr. Sketchy Flickr group and show off those goods!

See you next month on Sunday, August 8th!  Keira is returning to the Houston Sketchy stage to present ‘drawing throughout the decades’ – with special Houston Dr. Sketchy artist as a guest model.

Can you guess who!?!?  Come and find out

We miss you.  You miss us.  We’ll be back on August 8th – most likely with a sunburn and weird stories about beach bums.

See you then!!!!

Join your favorite Houston Dr. Sketchy crew as we draw deviously, sketch sassily and cool ourselves off with tasty cold beverages.

This month’s Sketchy session is going to rock your pants off:

What: June Houston Sketchy life drawing
When: Sunday, June 13th  2-6pm
Where: Avant Garden (411 Westheimer)
How much: $10 at the door + tips for your model

In honor of the gal that gave you life (and don’t you ever forget it!!), we are moving our Houston Dr. Sketchy life drawing fun to Sunday, May 16th to give you your entire Mother’s Day to spend with your mama.

But never fear, we’re making it worth the wait in a big-big way.  Join us for a 2-floor / 2-model Houston Dr. Sketchy event that will rock your socks off!  Our models (the lovely Katrina and fabulous Erin) are going to wow you upstairs and downstairs.  No, literally… on the upstairs stage AND the downstairs stage (dirty minds…).

Even cooler than that, Erin is raising money for the Lymphoma & Leukemia Society – donating her tips and model fees (as well as the sale of some goodies) to the great cause!  So bring some extra dinero and support your fave models and a heck of a good cause.

Want to save your cash for the big day?  Buy your tickets online and be on our guest list – check it out on our Facebook event.  See you there!

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!!

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!
