Live Event Illustration
Your guests, illustrated live
Quick, expressive portraits drawn throughout your event, giving guests something fun to watch unfold and a one-of-a-kind piece of art to take home.
I’m a NYC-based live event illustrator, available for weddings, brand activations, corporate events and celebrations in New York and beyond.
How Live Illustration Works
-
Before the event, we’ll decide on the illustration style and any custom details. Think classic fashion-inspired portraits, something looser and more playful, or even a caricature-inspired approach. Your paper can also be customized with wedding details, event branding or a logo.
-
My assistant takes a quick photo of each guest, couple or group and adds them to the illustration list, so they can get straight back to enjoying the event without interruption. There’s no need to sit and pose while I draw, unless you’ve chosen a more traditional caricature-style experience where guests are illustrated while sitting with me.
-
Guests head straight back to the event while I illustrate from their photos. Each portrait typically takes around 5–10 minutes, depending on the style.
-
Finished illustrations are displayed for guests to take home, each one an original piece of artwork made especially for them.
