April 3rd, 2007- The first ever Boozer Doodle!
(Continued from previous post- click on “Events” to the right and scroll down to find Part One)… I called my friend Ashley Zeltzer, who had been doing promotional material for the Dames Aflame burlesque group. Ashley is crazy talented,

The idea for Boozer Doodle started with an e-mail
from one of the artists at my weekly figure drawing class, James Burns. He sent me a link to the Dr. Sketchy’s website and suggested I try something like that with our class. I had been tinkering with some ideas, once even had the class form an “in the round” seating arrangement and do sequential drawings that I later compiled with fellow artist Raquel Asturias. I’ve lost her file but was able to put together a Flash file from the original scans.
About a dozen artists sat in a circle around the model. We all numbered our drawings in the sequence that we were seated, then each drew three sequential poses from model Ana Balka. I later scanned in all the drawings and re-sized and positioned them in Photoshop, then created the final transition movie in Flash:
This was a fun experiment, and I had been thinking about trying some different approaches with the models. One idea was to have them act out a blind script pose by pose, and reveal a story through the final drawings.
When I saw the Dr. Sketchy’s website, I saw the possibility of something apart from the regular figure class- something fun, and more in the tradition of the Moulin Rouge and the bawdy night life drawings of Toulouse-Lautrec!
After reading several of Dr. Sketchy’s creator Molly Crabapple’s ideas for using a bar setting and hiring performers for models, I quickly thought of the Vortex in Midtown, with its separate back showroom for the burlesque group Dames Aflame.

Here are some drawings from the December event at the Clermont Lounge. If you haven’t been to a Dr. Sketchy’s event, you owe it to yourself to come check it out this Monday, January 11th.
Even if you don’t want to draw and are just curious, come and watch as a group of talented artists do what comes naturally- drinking and drawing!
The models are beautiful and have great costumes to keep the poses interesting. And if you haven’t been to the Clermont Lounge- you are missing one of Atlanta’s great institutions!
These are photos from the first Platform Festival, June ‘07. It was a great one, beautiful weather, awesome animation, fun installations and great people. Many of these shots are from the picnic trip out to Sauvie Island, and various shots around town. Don’t miss the next Platform Festival, July 1-3 2010!
