There are times that stand out in an artist’s life – your first art show, finding your medium, collaborating with a favorite fellow artist, making your first sale.

And then there are times that REALLY stand out.  Times like when Vivienne Vermuth takes the Dr. Sketchy stage to wow, impress and overwhelm your sketchpad with awesomeness.

Make a memory.  Have a couple of drinks.  Get your butt to Dr. Sketchy this Sunday, September 11th with Vivienne!! You will be hugely happy you did :)
