Dr. Sketchy model coming to Murray Hill! 11.5 6—9PM

A cross-pollinating of sorts, Dr. Sketchy September model Danielle will be joining us for the Murray Hill Drawing Group, 2026 Murray Hill Road #202, THIS Wednesday. This is the long-pose session. I've asked Danielle to wear the outfit she started out the Dr. Sketchy session in [see pic]. Rumor has it that "Dr." Jason, and possibly "Dr." Aaron, might be joining us as well. Come out and meet the Dr. Sketchy crew!

The world is watching you, Ohioans...

Only one rule : DO NOT SCREW UP (I know you won't.)
Please, I am coming back in two months.
