January is often seen as a quiet month for events, but this year, it was anything but, with three live illustration bookings in one week in January. I’m hoping that 2025 continues with more of this celebratory energy.
Here’s a look at my recent live illustration events:
L'Oréal Staff Party at The Ned – Kicking off 2025 in style at the stunning Ned London, where I had the pleasure of illustrating L'Oréal’s team at their glamorous staff party. It felt like a perfect match, to be creating fashion sketches for beauty industry professionals.
Press Night at The Langham Hotel — Next, I joined an exclusive press night at The Langham, sketching guests on the spot in just 10 minutes per portrait. Live illustration is always popular at events, and this one was booked out within the first hour.
RW Perio Book Launch with Dr. Reena at The Dorchester – Wrapping up the week with a more personal event, I was invited to illustrate guests at Dr Reena’s book launch at The Dorchester. It was so lovely to be part of celebrating her achievement with her friends, family and press.
A huge thank you to everyone who made these events possible. It’s always a privilege to bring live illustration to events. It was especially wonderful to work alongside friends, and fellow live-illustrators, Niki Groom and Jacqueline Bisset.
If you’re planning a brand event, private party, or corporate celebration, get in touch—live illustration is the perfect way to create unforgettable moments.
