JOURNAL

Welcome to my journal - a little glimpse behind the scenes of life as a London-based live event illustrator. I spend much of my time travelling across London, the UK and beyond, painting and drawing live at luxury events, weddings, fashion and brand celebrations and private parties.

What Is a Live Event Illustrator?

A live event illustrator creates bespoke artwork in real time, capturing guests, key moments and the atmosphere of an event as it unfolds. From brand activations, corporate events, beauty and fashion events and product launches to weddings, private parties and luxury experiences, the artwork is created live, allowing guests to watch the creative process unfold.
