Hey guys! I hope winter has been treating you all better than it has been me- if it hasn't, then wrap up and grab a hot cup of hot chocolate for me and stay warm My apologies for not announcing last month's events, and details on our Armageddon stall (that's in another journal ) as life and health issues have hit me hard over the last 2 or more months. I'm hoping now that those issues are all over and I can get back to presenting cool art stuff as I hear about them



Drawfest August 2014
Date:-  Sunday, 31st August 2014

Bring a friend, bring your art, comic, craft, writing... what ever creative tools you have, bring them along and hangout with other like minded Aucklanders, and swap war stories or what not! All forms of art are welcome, and all skill levels. Located at Hum Salon, our new regular location, there's TONES of room, and the building is a beautiful historic building that they're currently restoring back to it's full luster, and it looks amazing already! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for all!

Please note- bringing a friend is not required, but recommended for the youth members as it can make adjusting to the group much easier Please note me if you have any special needs that I should help cater for. We do have members of Auckland Drawfest who have special needs such as being deaf, I'll try my best to accommodate you. Please don't feel held back from joining in the fun

Please note that this is a cash only venue- there are bakeries nearby though! And if you have some spare change, please consider donating towards the renovation of this gorgeous historic building

Dr. Sketchy Auckland presents Silent (Hill) Nurse

Oh hello, nurse. I'm not feeling very well, do you think OH! Oh dear! You seem to have lost…. your face….

Let's get out the dirty bandages & oil up our meat cleavers sketchers, because Nurse is here to separate your necessities from your unmentionables.

MC & parasite-carrier Lilly Loca is back with more cult murmurings to revive your hidden smut fiend!

Bring your favourite tools: pens, paper, pencils, crayons, glue, cameras and/or finger paint. Dr. Sketchy is open to anyone, regardless of creed, colour and artistic style.

$10 on the door to feed the model. Please note, we are becoming rather popular & as such, we recommend you come early to ensure a seat!

Thanks to our awesome patrons of the arts: Jeremy of Arkham City Comics - Auckland, new art sponsor Takapuna Art Supplies, and of course our mighty overlord of The Wine Cellar, Rohan (Buy him a drink. Buy yourself a drink. Buy everyone a drink!).
