ON HIATUS

The Brimstone Drawing Club is on hiatus until further notice. A variety of other projects are keeping your session organizers hopping, but we're looking forward to bringing the club back at some point this year.

Heat it Up with the BDC! *6/20*

This month at the Brimstone Drawing Club, we celebrate the start of summer with two sizzling pin-up models. Our stage will be graced with Chicago's hottest hula hooper, Lula Hoop Garou, and with the much anticipated return of sultry rockabilly siren Rebecca Ryan. Join us Saturday, July 20th to draw them both!
