Eye Candy and More

This book is awesome eye candy, with plenty of amazing drawings and fascinating photos (including a few of mine, so I'm biased, but trust me, this is a book like none you've seen before), but the reason you shouldn't deny yourself this particular treat is that it backs it all up with advice on how to be a DIY mogul. Molly's career has been amazing and she reveals every bit of how she's built the Dr. Sketchy's empire. There are tips for anybody with a project or event they want to promote--all charmingly surrounded by brilliant drawings of saucy burlesque performers, daring roller derby gals, and even a some sweet hunky boys! This is a truly unique and beautiful book, and makes a great gift for ooglers, artists AND entrepreneurs.

Fun witty and frolicsome

This book is a blast for anyone who's survived art school, the urban art scene, or just an obsession with Victoriana and/or Bohemia. A fun, quick read with activities, cutouts and the like, and helpful advice for giving your own Dr. Sketchy's in case you want to sully the morals of your hometown.

Pure inspiration for the bohemian artist in all of us

Does your artistic muse need a swift kick in the can? Never has a book made me want to run outside and start drawing everything like Dr. Sketchy's Official Rainy Day Coloring Book! This is pure inspiration in a striped yellow cover, my friends. Some of the goodies you'll find in its pages include: gorgeous photos of gorgeous people, delicious illustrations by the ever-delightful Molly Crabapple, recipes for some wicked Dr. Sketchy-themed libations, make-your-own paper dolls, and perhaps most importantly, clear and simple instructions about how to start your own Dr. Sketchy's figure drawing/cabaret event(so you can have all this fun in your own hometown). Of course, even if you are not an artist, you can still enjoy the smoking hot ladies and gents whose images are sprinkled liberally throughout the proceedings. It's fun for everyone!

A charming confection of a book

This is a charming confection of a book, something you'd want to put in a bowl and eat. The writing is funny and cheeky, the illustrations gorgeous, and it's just chock full of delights: coloring book pages, paper dolls, cut-out pasties, burlesque girl photos, puzzles, cartoons... and this in addition to a history of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School and a step-by-step manual on how to start your own. This book is obviously essential for artists who want to start their own fabulous old-style burlesque life drawing events, but it's just as great for non-artists who only want to bask in its charm.

Drawing decadence!!!

Chock full of gorgeous photos, Dr. Sketchy's Official Rainy Day Colouring Book is addictive!! It made me WISH I could draw! Along with the photos, there is lots of witty commentary and description of this event that is only a year old, but is already taking the world by storm. This book makes a great gift for anyone, but any artist or hell, lay person, who is intrigued by an event where artists gather to draw pictures of elegant nekkid ladies in a velvet-y bar whilst drinking cocktails and coffee will keep this book available to look at time and time again.
