Guest portraits
Turn a special moment into something your guests can take home and keep. Live guest portraits are a beautiful addition to weddings, celebrations and corporate events, creating a personal keepsake drawn especially for each guest. Each portrait takes approximately 8–10 minutes, and the illustration style and technique can be customised to suit your event.
Fashion sketches
A stylish way to bring a creative, fashion-led touch to your event. Fashion illustrations focus on the overall look, outfit and character of each guest, and are usually created as full-body or half-body sketches. Perfect for brand activations, store openings, launches, weddings and private events, each illustration takes around 8–10 minutes to complete. The style and technique can be tailored to your event and discussed in advance.
Questions & answers
How much does live illustration cost?
My live illustration service starts from £200 per hour. Each event is unique, so the final quote is tailored to your requirements, including the duration, number of guests and chosen illustration style. Any special materials or bespoke paper requests can also be arranged and quoted separately.
How many guests can you illustrate?
Each illustration takes approximately 8–10 minutes, depending on the chosen style and level of detail. For larger events, we can discuss the guest numbers in advance and choose an approach that works beautifully with your schedule.
How do guests receive their illustrations?
Hand-drawn illustrations are presented to guests straight away, giving them a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home from the event. For digital illustrations, the experience can be tailored to your event: they can be printed on-site or made available for guests to download via a QR code. We can discuss the best option in advance to suit your event format and style.
Do you travel outside London?
Absolutely. I'm available for events across the UK and internationally. Travel and accommodation, where required, are quoted separately depending on the location.
Do you take other commissions?
Yes! Alongside live events, I work on a variety of illustration projects for brands and private clients. This includes fashion illustration, custom portraits, editorial and commercial artwork, as well as illustration for children’s books. I’m always happy to discuss new ideas and creative collaborations, so feel free to get in touch with your project.
