LIVE EVENT ART & FASHION ILLUSTRATION
Ready for a one-of-a-kind live art experience?
Consider live illustrations of your guests, created right before their eyes, right there during your event.
Guests get to take the original, signed artwork home as an unforgettable souvenir which will last a lifetime.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
-
A full fashion sketch (9x12in) takes about 8-10 minutes per person. This includes their entire outfit from head to toe, hairstyle, shoes, and accessories such as jewelry, handbag rendered in watercolor and other materials.
A bust sketch (5x7in) takes about 5-7 minutes per person. This style includes head, hairstyle, and outfit up to the knees rendered in marker.
Please add ~2-3 minutes for couples. Sketches with more than 2 people are by special request only and only available as in-studio commissions. -
I will provide:
Art paper and logo printing, painting materials, protective plastic sleeves to ensure safe transport of the art, and a table sign with information and instructions for your guests.
Available for additional cost:
- Polaroid sticker of your guest for easy identification when picking up
- Include a custom matching background artwork on the paper
- Art presentation folders instead of plastic protective sleeve to protect the artwork -
All I will need from you is a table, chair and good lighting.
An extra chair for your guest to sit on would be helpful.
Access to an electrical outlet is helpful for extra embellishment!

For smaller groups (luxury retail etc), I will take a photo of the client and work using the photo while they shop with their client advisor. The client (or their CA) may pick up the sketch afterwards.
For larger groups (trade shows, weddings etc), I suggest that guests sit opposite me until the sketch is done. They are free to eat and drink, take photos or chat with others in line.

Yes!
I’m happy to include recent/aspirational items such as handbags or jewelry illustrations from your brand to serve as a cherished memento of their shopping experience.I can also theme the artworks eg: everyone holding a wine glass/wedding cake, everyone wearing a special color, etc.
All my paper can be customized with your brand or event logo.
Lets chat!

Yes! I can print your logo onto the paper I will be using. I can also add a custom background artwork, border etc to add that extra element. Names in my signature calligraphy script can also be included.
I will send you a proof of the artwork before printing, including mockups etc. Please inquire for custom printing at least 6 weeks from your event date to allow time for art production, printing and pickup.
You are also welcome to provide your own branded paper, folders or bags. The art paper must meet artists’ specifications due to the nature of watercolors.
