Live Portraits
I do quick portrait illustrations at markets, events, weddings- honestly any place you want me! They take me about five minutes for one person, ten minutes for two. I can do more than two people at a time, but it’ll take me a bit longer.
It’s a pretty gratifying feeling to see someone light up when they see themselves how I see them. I love highlighting people’s unique features in a cute, flattering style.
My rate is $250/hour. The minimum time for any event would be one hour, and after a 30 mile radius from Portland, my minimum is 3 hours or I charge a mileage/travel fee.
I want to make sure everyone that wants a drawing gets drawn, and typically at weddings everyone that wants one will get one. I’ll go as fast as I can. :)
It is typically first come first served, but we can also do a little wait list at the table and I’ll call out the names - this works better for smaller events.
Just a little note: the drawings used to be done on 9×12” paper, but to make it more efficient for everyone I am doing them now on 6×8” paper. You can see the examples near the top of my gallery (from the alternative wedding expos), they’re all just as cute.
What I need for an event:
A table and three to four chairs
If I am working 5-6 hours, a vendor meal
And that’s it!
