Steffi Schütze and Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin

LaLaVox here once again... I discovered Steffi Schütze's work when someone at a very nice art and photography forum that I belong to posted one of her illustrations there. I subscribed to her blog and one day a post came up featuring Tronicat la Miez. I had just posed as The Singing Mermaid at the last Hedoluxe-hosted Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in Berlin back in mid-May and had met Tronicat there. It was fun for me to realize that Steffi - who's work I'd been admiring so much since discovering it - had been in the audience that night drawing us.

Hedoluxe, who hosts Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Hamburg, decided back in May that he no longer wanted continue trying to host a Dr. Sketchy's in Berlin as well (he lives in Hamburg after all), and the post has now been taken over by Matthias Pflügner. And here's where Steffi comes in again. Matthias P. asked her to illustrate the poster for the next Dr. Sketchy's in Berlin; and what a delightful poster it is too:



The first Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin under Matthias Pflügner's care will be premiering on Saturday, October 10th at 3pm at White Trash Fast Food, and is planned as a regular monthly event there. I'm really looking forward to it! For one thing, I'm very much looking forward to meeting Steffi Schütze in person at last. And I'm looking forward to being in the crowd drawing once again instead of up onstage posing in mermaid garb... ;)

Feed the Fish... Taunt the Penguins...

Hello All. LaLaVox here. I've added a bit of code to our Mildred Loves You blog today. Code that I found, oddly enough, while Googling for fashion by Alexander McQueen. Googling for McQueen led me to a fashion blog that had an application in the side bar that caught my eye. I followed the link given and found my way to aBowman.com

Adam Bowman has some delightful gadgets that can be added to any webpage. I couldn't resist adding two of these gadgets to our side bar, so we have pets here now... Fish and penguins... You may feed them or taunt them at will.





Cheers,

LaLaVox

Pin-Up # 33 - Guest Starring Julius the Python and 8E

...It's definitely the most complicated pin-up I've done so far - it's been subjected to a myriad of unwelcome delays, and it's over a month late in the meantime - but Pin-Up #33 is online at last - guest starring Julius the Python + 8E!

Julius may well be the largest albino Burmese python in Germany. And she is currently “with child”, so to speak: full to brim with loads of eggs just waiting to be laid. Which is why baby pythons have been included in this portrait... ;)

So without further ado...

Pin-Up # 32 - Guest Starring Hedoluxe

In July I began the first in my series of Guest Star pin-ups (there are quite a number of these planned). And our first guest star? - the fabulous Hedoluxe (from Planet Hedoluxe). He has been mentioned in earlier posts here in connection with Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in Hamburg and Berlin. Behold...

Catching Up: Pin-Ups #21 to #31

Hello again. LaLaVox here. Back in July I said I’d return in August to get this blog up to date with the goings on at www.mildredlovesyou.com between the beginning of the year and now. It’s managed to become September in the meantime, but that’s the way it goes... ;)

This post is to catch up on Pin-Ups #21 to #31. (Pin-Ups #32 + #33 will each get a post of their own.)

Back in October 2008 my guy and I began extensive renovations and remodeling in our neighboring apartments (turning the two of them into one), and it became impossible for me to keep up with a weekly pin-up. So I posted October/ November/ December holiday greetings and the site went into hibernation for the duration.

I returned to my Monday Pin-Up series in January 2009 with a redux version of the very first pin-up in the series (which began on June 16th, 2008). Here are January’s pin-ups:

Pin-Up #21 – "Legs Redux"
featuring Thérèse-Constance van Ticklinckx, Mildred Mahler, and Kitty Derail


Pin-Up #22 – "Siren"
featuring Coco Delish


Pin-Up #23 – "Fairy Tales"
featuring Midnight in Paris and Midnight in New York


Pin-Up #24 – "Promising Rose Gardens"
featuring Candy-Box Rosie


But in February, due to continuing renovations and other time limitations, I decided to turn The Monday Pin-Up into The Monthly Pin-Up. I did however manage to produce 3 Valentine’s pin-ups for February in spite of this new one-pin-up-a-month decision. Voilà...

Pin-Up #25 – "Three Hearts (The 1st of 3)"
featuring Thérèse-Constance van Ticklinckx


Pin-Up #26 – "Three Hearts (The 2nd of 3)"
featuring Mildred Mahler


Pin-Up #27 – "Three Hearts (The 3rd of 3)"
featuring Kitty Derail


And in March came the first honest-to-goodness Monthly Pin-Up:

Pin-Up #28 – "Ready to Swing into Spring"
featuring Coco Delish


I was optimistic that I’d be able to keep up with one pin-up a month, in spite of continuing time limitations, but it was not to be. So I closed the site from April through June. I’ve reopened in the meantime with Pin-Ups # 32, and #33 (featuring our first guest stars), but the pin-ups from the missing months remain to date in a half-finished, work-in-progress limbo. I’ll post them whenever they manage to reach completion; I do want to have a complete set after all. ;) But for now, here’s a bit of a preview and place holder for them...

Pin-Up #29 – "Rise and Shine"
featuring Midnight in Paris
Pin-Up #30 – "Ruby Slipped"
featuring Ruby Slipped
Pin-Up #31 – "Ode to Erté"
featuring Mildred Mahler and Midnight in New York


Wish me luck! :)
