Graphic Recording

Created live whilst your meeting is in progress, I can be connected with you online, and my drawings projected live onto a screen, anywhere in the world.

Or, I can be in the room with you, drawing icons and fitting them to the salient parts of your meeting for easy reference afterwards! Simply put, it’s having someone record the minutes of your meeting, in a more fun way.

I can also work in a traditional way, with pen and paper!

Below, a series of 5 illustrated talks on different subjects. Each talk was only 10 minutes long and I drew them in real time.

Afterwards I spent about a further 10 minutes adding highlights and colour blocks to differentiate the sections. These were created for Iona Holloway at Brave Thing.

Above, a Graphic Recording of a webinar I attended by Vogue Business- about the prospects of AI in fashion. The recording was created in real-time during the duration of the webinar which was an hour long.

I spent just a few minutes moving a few sections around afterwards and adding the highlights and background colours for clarity.

Below, a Graphic Recording, or Live Illustration, created by traditional means- my trusty Winsor and Newton Promarkers! This illustration was for a local community event. I drew this in real time, with no touching up afterwards! It was fun and also quite mind-bending as I never knew what was coming up next!
