I work as a live illustrator at events, festivals, and cultural programmes, creating quick, hand-drawn portraits that capture people in the moment.
Guests receive a personal artwork to take home, while the live drawing becomes part of the event experience.
What I Do
- Live portrait illustration for guests
- Fast, expressive drawings created on-site
- A personal, interactive experience
With a background in graphic design and illustration, my portraits have a strong visual character, balancing likeness with expressive, stylised drawing.
Live illustration in action:
How it works
Before the event:
Get in touch with your event details, and we can agree on the format, timing, and setup.
During the event:
Guests are drawn individually from a reference photo (first-come, first-served).
Each portrait takes around 10 minutes, and guests collect their artwork during the event.
All reference photos are deleted after the event.
For a quick response, include your event date, location, and type.
I usually reply within 1–2 days. Looking forward to hearing from you.
