Hello!

My name is Schin and as a published artist with a BFA in Illustration, and I very much enjoy sketching and interacting with guests.

I try match my palette and speed your event aspirations. From elegant and muted sketches for luxury retail to bright pops of color for corporate parties, I hope to provide a memorable and successful activation for your event.

 
 

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

  • A full sketch (9x12in) takes about 10-15 minutes for 2 guests. Each piece is carefully rendered with attention to detail. Full sketches are suitable for luxury retail events, and you may expect up to 5 sketches per hour.

    For faster paced corporate events and parties, I recommend a smaller paper (6×9in) which takes about 5-7 minutes for 1 guest. I will simplify the sketches somewhat but will still render their entire outfit from head to toe, hairstyle, shoes, and accessories such as jewelry, handbag etc. You may expect up to 10 sketches per hour.

  • I will provide:

    • Art paper, painting materials, protective plastic sleeves, table sign with information and instructions for your guests. An assistant will be provided for busier events

      Available for additional cost:

    • Your logo printed on the art paper

    • A custom matching background artwork on the paper

    • Art presentation folders instead of plastic protective sleeves to protect the artwork

  • All I will need from you is a table, 2 chairs and good lighting.
    A cocktail tray for your guest to set their drinks on would be helpful

 
 
  • For smaller groups (luxury retail etc), I will take a photo of the guest and work using the photo while they shop. The guest (or store staff) may pick up the sketch afterwards.

    For larger groups (trade shows, weddings etc), I suggest that guests sit opposite me until the sketch is done. They are free to eat and drink, take photos or chat with others in line.

  • Yes!
    I’m happy to sketch aspirational items such as handbags or jewelry from your brand to serve as a cherished memento of their shopping experience.

    I can also theme the artworks eg: everyone holding a wine glass/wedding cake, everyone wearing a special color, etc.

    All my paper can be customized with your brand or event logo.

    Lets chat!

  • Yes! I can print your logo onto the paper I will be using for an additional fee. I can also add a custom background artwork, border etc to add that extra element. Guest names in my signature calligraphy script can also be included.

    I will send you a proof of the artwork before printing, including mockups etc. Please inquire for custom printing at least 3 weeks from your event date to allow time for art production, printing and pickup.

    You are also welcome to provide your own branded folders or bags.

  • Yes! The LAS airport is a hub for many flights across the US. I have traveled to New York, California and everywhere in between for live sketching events and happy to travel to you.

    Please contact at least 4 months beforehand for a quote which will include travel time, flight, accommodation and per diem from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Thank you for your time and deep talent in creating these artworks. I know they will be slipped into pockets and purses at the end of the night, to be studied and enjoyed for many more years to come. I am grateful for the day I first met you. You have made so many events in my life extra special.
