My first live illustration commission was in 2013 with Kurt Geiger, offering live fashion illustrations for influencers at a launch event. Ever since, live illustration has grown to include, not only fashion illustration, but also personalisation of products. Its appeal is in its ability to engage people creatively, and to give them a personal, and fun gift; a lasting reminder of the event.
I love the buzz of events and being surrounded by people. The regular practise of drawing quickly in front of an audience has had a positive, lasting effect on my work.

How does it work?
I have mastered a style which allows me to produce quick illustrations. All of my “live” artwork is produced in approximately 8 minutes. At busy influencer events, or parties, people can come and pose for me, often forming a queue. But, at sit-down events, when a queue could disrupt the flow of the event, I prefer to photograph guests as the arrive, allowing me to continue to work on the drawings during the meal, ready for collection at the event of the proceedings.
Pricing.
My prices for a live illustration event start from £800, and will be quoted based on design requirement, location, length and duration of the event. While I am based in London, I am happy to travel both in the UK and worldwide, especially if this is part of a series of events.
After a break from events, I am really excited to be back out in the world again and can’t wait to see what new experiences are brewing. If you would like more information, give me a call and we can create some ideas together.
