Lux St. Sin brings Fire & Ice

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice”

nice words Robert Frost, thanks.

And yes, Lux St Sin will be both your desire and destruction! As Fire & Ice you may just perish twice…
but what a way to go!

Mark the date, Sunday May 26, come sketch with us.
Don’t go hot and cold on us, commit to drawing, babes and fun – see you there!

Anything Goes! with Evie Red’s (BIG) Ruby Lips

Evie Red returns to Dr Sketchy’s this month with a session dripping with salacious intent,

bawdy burlesque and  lascivious desire.

Evie’s last session in January 2012 was a sell-out,

this time she brings us her tribute to the Queen of the double entendre, Mae West.

Joining Evie will be Dali’s iconic Red Lips.  Yes,  A BIG SET OF LIPS. 

Sounds sexy AND arty huh?

Well that’s just what Dr Sketchy’s is.

Look back on photos of Evie from her session in the Golden bath tub…. here

Pregnant Virgins, Rock Stars, Acrobats and Mirror Tents..

Have you seen all the wonderful sessions and Sketchy action that’s been happening in 2013?

If you’ve been with us you’ll know how jam packed we’ve been with a variety of exceptional personalities and performers across 2 very special locations.

2 sessions down at The Famous Spiegeltent with Polish based acrobat duo The Caesar Twins, and just last week a moving, warm fuzzy session with half of the incredible quartet of acrobats that is CASUS.

Follow the links to see albums of both events

We launched our 2013 season at our home THE TOFF IN TOWN with YOU AM I frontman, Tim Rogers.  For those that missed it… you’re loss.  A session that will never be matched – intimate, raw, visceral, private.
If you were then it’s a memory to keep and hopefully your renderings of Tim captured the man whilst he waxed poetic on the life of a rock star.

Stay tuned for the next performer announcement for our session Sunday March 31t at The Toff in Town

CASUS – knee deep at Sketchy’s in The Famous Spiegeltent

This Saturday we return to The Famous Spiegeltent with the stars of Knee Deep – CASUS, circus from the heart, astonishing skills and exquisite beauty from four performers at the top of their game.


Casus bring the humanity into circus through a breathtaking and fragile display of skills staged at The Famous Spiegeltent.

Casus is Australia’s hottest new circus company featuring artists who have performed with CIRCA, Polytoxic, Legs on the Wall and Briefs Collective. Their debut work Knee Deep is an inventive blend of circus and modern media using traditional and contemporary circus techniques. Through this work, the five performers explore the limitations of strength and fragility, journeying Knee Deep through moments of raw discovery, fleeting relationships and unexpected bonds. Casus gives new purpose and meaning to objects that are seemingly inanimate.

Built in 1920 The Famous Spiegeltent magic mirrors have reflected thousands of images of artists, audiences and exotic gatherings. She is a star in her own right, hosting parties, concerts, clubs and a myriad of stunning performances, launching the careers of countless artists traveling the world.

When else will you be able to say you’ve sketched a stunning performance artist holding still for you in the same space where Marlene Dietrich sang Falling In Love Again in the 1930s. Exactely. You will never say get to say that unless you book yourself a ticket – do it here!
