My NEW digital fashion portraits in Paris!

Commissioned by Scarlett Entertainment for LEXUS. This was a TOP SECRET night time event- with an undisclosed location. The guests arrived by coach at Luc Besson's- Cité du Cinéma in Saint Denis, on the outskirts of Paris. This was where The Fifth Element was filmed, amongst others.My iPad Pro was linked to a screen where I drew portraits of the guests until early hours of the morning. Met some lovely guests and other 'performers' including violinists, liquid nitrogen ice cream makers and 'Tron' dancers! It was a huge corporate event with European-wide guests.

'LA's Hottest Ticket'- Variety Magazine & Women in Film and Television's celebration @ Gracias Madre

Painting @40 guests as speedily as possible last friday night in LA was my most pressured job to date! Working with LA illustrator Sunny Gu, who was also drawing like crazy. Our mission from Rue La La, sponsors of the event was to "paint each guests in 2 minutes"- we did assure the client that was impossible but we would do our best!!!

It was packed with guests from U.S tv shows such as Ariel Winter (Modern Family) Jamie King (Sin City) Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), and many many others!

Off to LA LA Land!

I'm SO excited to be part of the Variety Magazine & Women in Film's Television Celebration at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood this friday. I shall be drawing on the spot fashion portraits  of the beautiful people of LA- apparently this event is LA's hottest ticket !!!

Quick Summer update

 

Busy time juggling work and children- why do I always get SO much work as soon as the kids break up???!!!!!

In short- working on time lapses for large shopping centre, portraits for the Southbank Centre, packaging illustrations for room sprays to be released 2017, interviews coming up for TV, Pre-Emmy's party in LA in 2 weeks time, a top secret Paris event using my new iPad Pro end of this month...it's been hectic but really exciting stuff!

As soon as I can show images, I will!!!!

 

Wedding reception at Claridges for 'Private Drama' Events organiser

A fabulously elegant evening reception last friday night, working for Private Drama who also booked The Jersey Boys for the day! Caricature artist Luisa Calvo and myself worked side by side drawing the glamorous guests until midnight.

Mac no.3 event - Covent Garden

Another fabulous day drawing customers at Mac's stand alone James St store. Had a very busy and very hot day working alongside talented MUA's (only just worked out what that stood for- lol!) I think I drew nearly 40 portraits- it was crazy and full on but great fun!

Private Tuition

Had an interesting day in London giving private tuition to Sara Japanwalla- an experienced fashion illustrator from Dubai who wanted to fine tune her techniques. She progressed immensely from the morning and was a very quick learner- the perfect student!                                           Sara went away with a shopping list of art equipment with tools to improve her trade.

 

 

"Art of the Lip"

Mac Cosmetics

"Art of The Lip" event

Westfield, Stratford

Customers received beautifully painted lips from Mac's makeup artists, then were invited to sit for their very own fashion portrait! The A5 artworks were taken home in a beautiful Mac folder.

I did about 30 portraits per day and met some lovely people, it was especially lovely to meet 3 young doctors, on their way home from night shift, to sleep a few hours before getting back to work! The Mac staff were great to work with, I even had my own face done by Kom- a fantastic make up artist.
