December is always a busy month for everyone, and in particular for live illustrators it can be the most thrilling & busiest time of the year to create.
Just in the last few weeks I have been live fashion illustrating for Dior Parfums at Neiman Marcus, Burberry and holiday parties galore. It can be such a gift to realize I am making people smile & brightening their day by sharing with them my talents. Not gonna lie, it can be hard to go out and be that vulnerable, knowing that you only have a matter of minutes to capture each person who sits in front of you. But I have learned as they say “no risk, no reward.” And to focus on the fact most people are not going to be critical (like it is easy to do as an artist) and they will cherish these sketches for a long time to come.
Take a look at some of my highlights of these events. And thank you to Dior Parfums, Burberry & Absolute Entertainment for entrusted me to live sketch for you this holiday season here in Atlanta.
Live Illustrating & Fashion Sketching in Atlanta this holiday season!
I told this couple, they were my pick for Best Dressed of the night, at an Art Deco Old Hollywood themed holiday party!
Dior Parfums had me live illustrate clients, while they got their makeup done. Not a bad gig, right?
Next stop, illustrating for Burberry and they fitted me to wear a trench at their event!

A husband got his pregnant wife a Burberry diaper bag, and I illustrated her from a photo in an outfit she loved…the perfect gift! I think she will be so surprised in the best of ways this Christmas!
This woman was over the moon to get this illustration! These reactions are always the best!
