Live fashion illustrations in a floral floridian-chic palette.

Jul 14

I travel the world to do personalized artwork and fashion illustrations for brands, brides and luxury hotels. Recently I drew at a cocktail hour for a stylish bride, with a clear self of style. Before she stepped foot in the room, the space told a story about her. Palm-beach-bright(s) with an edited, eclectic Floridian mix.

At weddings, I provide a 4 hour drawing session where I personalize items or do live fashion illustrations of the female guests. It’s a popular offering with my type of brides, who want a few surprises and added takeaways at their wedding celebration to say thank you to theirs guests. Wedding activations used to be few and far between, but I’ve found that they are so common that they have now become expectation at luxury events. I’ve even done this at bridal showers, baby showers, private small group ladies nights and have been everywhere from Kauai, to St. Barths, NYC, and small towns alike. It’s always a hit, and I only wish the bride could see every guest’s face when they pick it their up their custom illustration from my table.

This room would become dimly lit by the time the group took a seat for dinner which added some amazing candlelight to this mix…

Live, 10-15 Minute Fashion Illustrations of your guests’ dresses.

Using pencil, ink and only a fast touch of color allows me to get all of the guest’s details in a short amount of time.

I’m sharing photos here from the evening here because I think you would have appreciated the thought that the client put into planning and combining patterns. Each table was different. (For example, this photo shows the only table with two bird lampshades as decor. Another in the space had a tree in the center, bringing in a new table shape. All combined to give the room a big personality.
