Hello to all fans of <b>Cabaret Life Drawing at 21C</b>! Wow I miss those sessions! I do hope that Skylar and the folks at 21C Louisville will find a way to start them back up!<br />
<div>
<br />
I would like to inform you all of the <b>Lexiington Drawing and Painting meetup group</b> - in case you are ever in the Lexington KY area and wanted to do some figure drawing and sketching. Last year I met architect and product designer Chris Manzo who was involved with a similar meetup group in St Louis prior to relocating to the Bluegrass in 2012. The <a href="http://lexkyccg.blogspot.com/"><b>Lexington KY Comic Creators Group</b></a> has hosted several <a href="http://lexkyccg.blogspot.com/p/star-wars-theme-life-drawing.html"><b>Themed Life Drawing Sessions</b></a> over the last couple of years and I welcomed an accomplice to help promote/organize/host these and similar events. We want the meetup site to work like a clearinghouse of local and maybe even regional art opportunities. So if any of you attend or host art workshops or regular drawing/painting sessions maybe we should talk about sharing schedules?<br />

We have hosted six TLD events or sessions since January 2011. We most recently hosted a "Brave" inspired drawing session with three models in costume!. See our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lexkyccg/photos">photo gallery</a> on the CCG Facebook Page.<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Envious and jealous of the beauty of a mortal girl named Psyche, Venus asks her son Cupid to use his golden arrows while Psyche sleeps, so that when she awakens, Venus would have already placed a vile creature for her to fall in love with. Cupid finally agrees to her commands after a long (and failed) debate. As he flies to Psyche's room at night, he turns himself invisible so no one can see him fly in through her window. He takes pity on her, for she was born too beautiful for her own safety. As he slowly approaches, careful not to make a sound, he readies one of his golden arrows. He leans over Psyche while she is asleep and before he can scratch her shoulder with the arrow, she awakens, startling him, for she looks right into his eyes, despite his invisibility. This causes him to scratch himself with his arrow, falling deeply in love with her....</span></span><br />

Born bright-eyed and attention-starved, Miss Gypsy first began to satisfy her hunger for "oohs" and "ahs" when she discovered fire performing in 2007. The spark within her began to grow and she has singed many enthralled audiencesthroughout the city with the "hotness" of her fire and hula hoop acts. Her adventures and constant desire to improve her ability to amaze have spread her blaze to absorb a few new tricks, including aerial performance. There's no hope of surviving this wildfire of a performer...she continues to consume her audience, setting them ablaze with their own hunger for more.CCG Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11951839329524410074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618604767627235457.post-400091694843127222011-01-02T03:38:00.000-08:002011-01-02T03:38:35.927-08:00Sunday January 2nd 2011 - Acrobatic Contortionist<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31626857@N03/4872668048/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="bethan2 by steroidman626, on Flickr"><img alt="bethan2" height="240" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4872668048_f662b0fa84_m.jpg" width="188" /></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Happy Holidays!</span></b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Bring in the NEW YEAR with Cabaret Life Drawing and Yoga with Art @ 21c Museum!</span><br />

Seeing Graciela Perrone dance, sing and paint her flamenco is a truly evocative experience. Her voice is majestically authentic and her body is aggressively graceful when dancing, the physical embodiment of the music it represents. Her music is not her only love; in fact she draws off it for her first love, painting. Bold and compelling, her oil paintings capture the expressions and movement of flamenco with passion. She has found a way to take these dramatically different art forms and blend them together as if they were always meant to coexist.

<br />
Shannon is a Louisville native, hippie/raver chick, with a dynamic - but easy going - personality. Her look is quirky and dichotomous...for instance, she is playing with a Space Cowgirl Pin-Up theme at the moment. Her athletic, petite frame works really well for pin-up style poses; and is small but curvy! She loves yoga, and has the physical strength to hold poses for the duration.CCG Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11951839329524410074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618604767627235457.post-72474148177266236972010-09-19T07:26:00.000-07:002010-09-19T08:03:36.912-07:00August 22nd 2010 - Exotic Dancer<b style="color: #6aa84f;">Update</b>: Photos from Ami and Elijah Bishop's set.<br />

<hr />This Sunday, exotic dancer <b>Ami Burton</b> will sizzle your drawing practice with her fun and provocative poses!<br />
<br />
For the past three years, Ami has worked as an exotic dancer. Her work as a dancer has helped her to become very limber, allowing her to cultivate moves that are animated, twisted, and yoga-inspired. <br />
