Got some questions about live illustration? Here’s a few of the most commonly asked ones…
-
I attend your event with my full setup, including a camera to take photos of your guests. This means I can continue working during your wedding breakfast, meal, or meeting, and maximise the number of illustrations I can get done during your booking. I will ask each person/couple for their name/names to be added to the piece, so they can be easily identified. Once complete, each illustration will be displayed on my table ready to be collected.
-
On average, it takes me 7 minutes to complete an illustration of a single person, or 10 minutes for a couple. This means I can draw roughly 9-12 guests per hour. This can vary depending on complexity and number of people in the illustration (for example, a family of four will take much longer than a single person!). When booking please keep your guest count in mind, as booking 3 hours for an event of 100 guests will result in a lot of disappointed people.
-
I bring my entire setup with me, all I need is access to a plug socket. If your event is taking place outside, please ensure there is a suitably shaded area for me to work. Nobody wants their illustrator to get sunstroke!
-
Typically, I will wear all black to an event. If you have a specific colour scheme/style you would like me to adhere to, please let me know.
-
All sorts! Please get in touch if you would like to discuss add-on options, such as stationary design, signage, or framed portraits.

I use 100% recycled cotton paper, which helps preserve our forests as well as preventing cotton from going to landfill. The cello bags I use are biodegradable, and my pens are refillable, further reducing waste.
