Hey SKETCHERS! As we said last night, PINK NOISE, the art zine is featuring Dr. Sketchy Auckland in its pages in the near future. The wonderful Katie has offered you lucky members the chance to design the cover for Pink Noise, to appear on the cover of the issue featuring the Dr. Sketchy article.

To submit work for the cover of Pink Noise you need only do the following:

- put together a portfolio of your work which must include one sketch done at a Dr. Sketchy session
- submit the portfolio to myself & Brett at either the Sketchy session on the 18th Sept or (if you cannot make that session) email a copy of it to ms.sketchy@gmail.com by the end of September. This can be either as a Flicker (or other such photo storage sites) link or as a file
- from the portfolio submissions we will chose an artist to create the Pink Noise cover

Any questions: Fire Away!

In honor of Neil Gaiman's visit to New Zealand last month, and all of the other amazing thing's he has provided us with over the years, I have found two models who will assume the guises of the Sandman (Dream) and his sister Death. We will be in the Wine Cellar Dungeon where our sordid activities will go unnoticed by the rest of humanity.

Let's all get together before the un-holydays and do what we do best; draw, sketch, shoot and have a few drinks. Who knows, you might churn out something worth wrapping up and giving away.

Christmas in Hell follows a down and out elf as he gets recruited by the evil Mrs Claws! Watch how the scenarios unravel and draw your take on it as the actors hold their pose...

Ah yes, that mysterious art form. The seductive undulations that have made men weak at the knees for centuries & made women appear as the goddesses they are! Auckland's own Scarlett Serpentine was a sight to behold, swathed in white clouds of silk & dripping in diamonds. Thanks to Gotham Comics for more prize giving goodies.

Miss Erika, the Mysterious Singing Siren, floored us all with her quick costume changes and glorious voice. Graced with the generous sponsorship of Gotham Comics prizes were in hot demand and sketchers scribbled furiously to win one of the coveted items.

Unfortunately Ms. Sketchy's batteries died a horrible death so no photos for this one.

Oh me, oh my! Miss Viola Vixen and Miss Eva Strangelove showed Auckland some gorgeous burlesque talent. What beautiful skin, and red red lips.

Dr Sketchy's Retro Housewife show was hot and heavy work! MCd by the original Auckland Dr. Sketchy, and modeled by the current Ms. Sketchy herself. Sweating it out in the Whammy Bar, the talented sketchers put their fingers to the test. And were rewarded with brownies. Delicious, heart stopping, butter and chocolate clogged brownies.
