The sketchy performance of the title is mine, as I’ve not posted about Dr Sketchy’s Birmingham in over a year now. Well, as I was packing up my kit to head off to another class on Saturday, I thought this would be the ideal time to post a selection of drawings from Sketchy’s past. Due to [...]
Aloha! and welcome to Paradise Island (no, not that one), the setting for the most recent outing for Dr Sketchy’s in Birmingham.
