It’s the kind of PR move
that’s anything but boring…
just like your brand
You’ve booked the venue.
Curated the canapés.
Finessed the guest list.
Now comes the real pressure.
How do you create an experience that FEELS personal, unexpected — AND unforgettable?
That’s where live illustration changes the game — slowing the moment down just enough to savour it, sparking conversation, and weaving connection through the room.
Because when guests feel seen, surprised, and part of the story — they remember it.
And they remember the brand, the host, the moment that made it happen.
The Art of Being
Drawn In
There’s something magnetic about watching art come to life — a ripple of curiosity guests lean into, linger over, and carry with them.
Whether you're being sketched live or simply soaking up the spectacle, you're part of something rare:
a little luxury that’s meditative, memorable, and magnetic.
It’s not just about who ends up on the page — it’s about how everyone is DRAWN into the moment.
A Full Room.
A Curated Experience.
A full guest list isn’t a hurdle — it’s an opportunity to create something even more intentional.
I sketch as many guests as time allows, and sometimes that means everyone — it all depends on your guest list and how long you need me onsite.
Every guest is part of the experience — whether they’re sketched or simply soaking up the spectacle.
If you’re planning for 50 or more guests illustrated, I recommend booking a minimum of six hours to let the sketches — and the connections — unfold at just the right pace.
Here’s how we can keep the pens moving — annnd the good vibes alive:
Golden Ticket Sketches: A handful of guests chosen for their moment in the spotlight.
First In, First Sketched: A quiet reward for those who arrive early (sometimes, being fashionably early has its perks).
VIP Lists: You curate the faces; I capture the magic.
Photo Sketch Queue: Early snapshots, sketched into keepsakes — styled into the story as it unfolds or sent home as a final flourish.
However the sketches take shape, the real art is the way it makes them FEEL.

SET THE SCENE
-
I’ll arrive 30 minutes before your fabulous event to set up shop.
Outdoors? Fabulous — as long as the weather plays nice.
A dry, shaded spot keeps the paper crisp and the sketches flowing.Here’s how it unfolds:
Guests have a quick photo snapped, join the waitlist, and then mix, mingle, and live their best lives while I sketch behind the scenes.
Prefer to linger and watch the magic unfold? That’s part of the fun too.
Got VIPs?
Let me know before the event and I’ll make sure they glide to the front of the queue.Big crowd? Big love — and no stress.
If we don’t sketch everyone live, I manage guest expectations onsite — so everyone stays part of the experience (and no one leaves disappointed).If you’d like extra guests sketched after the event, we can absolutely do that —
additional post-event sketches are available at $30 NZD per guest.All the joy, no unexpected charges — just a little more illustrated wonder to take home.
