HOW IT WORKS...
HOW LONG DO LIVE DRAWINGS TAKE?
Illustrations take about 10-12 minutes to draw; I can draw approximately 5-7 individuals per hour
CAN YOU DRAW COUPLES OR GROUPS?
Yes! Please note that each individual takes 10-12 minutes to draw, so couples take approximately 20 minutes, groups of three take 30 minutes, and so on...
DO GUESTS HAVE TO SIT WITH YOU WHILE YOU DRAW THEM?
Nope! Guests are always welcome to sit with me as a live model for their drawings, however guests generally prefer I snap a photo of them and work from the photo reference. This allows guests to mingle within the party instead of sitting stationary for a session
DO GUESTS GET TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK?
Always! Art is placed in a protective plastic sleeve and your guests will leave with the original, custom artwork
CAN YOU WORK ON SURFACES BESIDES PAPER?
Yes. I can work on surfaces such as leather, shoes, purses, packaging, and glass. Have another idea? Let's discuss!
CAN YOU WORK ON CUSTOM PAPER?
Yes. I can work on branded paper so long as it is provided from the client. But let's discuss details (such as paper type and size) before you order!
HOW DOES YOUR GUEST QUEUE WORK?
Typically guests are drawn on a first-come first-served basis unless otherwise instructed. Once all my event time is queued up, additional drawing requests are politely declined.
WHAT IF THE EVENT ISN'T LONG ENOUGH TO DRAW ALL THE GUESTS WHO WANT PORTRAITS?
If there is more demand for portraits than event time allows, I am able to snap a reference photo of guests and draw them from my home studio (at my hourly rate) after the event. Prior to your event, let's discuss if your budget will support potential overflow of demand.
