LIVE ILLUSTRATION

Hand-drawn illustration, made on the spot - for weddings, brands, parties and events. I bring colour, joy and a little bit of magic into the room, and you and your guests leave with something you'll actually keep.

A colorful promotional graphic for Live Portraits features a yellow, smiling, childlike drawing of a sun with rays extending outward. Below, the text reads "LIVE PORTRAITS" in large, dark green letters, with a subtitle "colorful portraits of your guests, drawn live" in smaller green text.

What is live illustration?

A live illustrator listens, watches, and draws what's happening in real time - on iPad, in full colour, in front of your guests. At a wedding, that means colourful portraits of the people you love. At a brand event or conference, it's a whimsical illustrated record of the conversations, ideas and atmosphere.

Think of it as visual note-taking, but for an audience. The result is a single, shareable artwork that captures the feel of the day - far more memorable than a transcript, much lovelier than a photo gallery, and instantly usable for your social media, internal comms, or your living room wall.
