Live Event Illustration
Weddings
How it works:
Before the Event:
We’ll have a chat via Zoom or phone to discuss details, such as venue logistics, the absolute VIPS who must be drawn live on the day (I can create 18-20 drawings in a 3-hour setting). Where and when would you like the illustrations to take place- throughout the ceremony, reception, speeches and disco? Or simply, just the guests.
We’ll talk about the No Surprises Pricing Package variations, listed below, so that we can agree the cost and deposit.
I like to dress up and accessorise, so we can discuss the dress code too!
I’ll bring everything I need with me- all I request is a table and chair, preferably close to a plug socket in case I need extra light. I’ll research the venue’s location and logistics and my journey there, so you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll even bring my own snacks!
During the Event:
I’ll aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event and set up my working area.
I’ll take photos of the couple and the main guests (the absolute VIPS!), as well as some extra photos of the venue and other details to set the vibe. I’ll start working on the illustrations from the photographs. As I finish them, I will put them on a display rack in cello bags. Guests will be free to observe the illustrations and take them whenever convenient. I am always happy for guests to watch me at work!
If there is not time to draw everyone who would like to be illustrated, then I am happy to create illustrations in my studio after the event and post these on, as per the No Surprises Pricing Package.
After the Event :
A week or so later I will give you a courtesy call to check that everyone loves their illustrations! Also to see if there are any extras that might be added.
Do keep in touch and keep me posted about any upcoming family celebrations!

Parties
Whether at home or for a corporate event, nothing adds a twist of bohemian razzamatazz like having a live illustrator in the mix
How it works:
Before the Event
We’ll have a chat via Zoom or phone to discuss details, such as venue logistics, and how many people are expected (I can create 18-20 drawings in a 3-hour setting); and whether or not people would prefer to be drawn from photographs or from life, standing in front of me- or both!
We’ll talk about the No Surprises Pricing Package variations, listed below, so that we can agree the cost and deposit.
I like to dress up and accessorise, so we can discuss the dress code too!
I’ll bring everything I need with me- all I request is a table and chair, preferably close to a plug socket in case I need extra light. I’ll research the venue’s location and logistics and my journey there, so you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll even bring my own snacks!
During the Event
I’ll aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event and set up my working area.
I’ll take photos of the venue and sketch from these to set the vibe as people arrive. I will have a sign with clear instructions as to how Live Event Illustration works so that your guests aren’t wondering who’s the Art Weirdo in the corner. Usually people are keen to be drawn straight away and a queue can start to form, so I’ll work from photographs and have clear timings and a rota.
Next I’ll start working on the illustrations from the photographs. As I finish them, I will put them on a display rack in cello bags. Guests will be free to observe the illustrations and take them whenever convenient. I am always happy for guests to watch me at work!
If there is not time to draw everyone who would like to be illustrated, then I am happy to create illustrations in my studio after the event and post these on, as per the No Surprises Pricing Package.

Corporate Events
Why not add Live Fashion Illustration to your business event? Everybody wants their event to be the most memorable, stand out event of the season. Of course you can use photographs to capture the event, but why not add a more personal touch?

The joyful, unfettered world of showing clothes as they were intended- celebrating layers and textures, exaggerating the highlights and embracing all the details. Fashion illustration is my first love.
