Ion Studios

I draw guests live at events, completing each portrait in 5 to 8 minutes, and every guest takes home an original piece as a keepsake. The appeal is that it works across almost any event type — corporate dinners, weddings, brand activations, luxury parties — and adds something genuinely personal and handmade that guests remember. Unlike a photo booth, every piece is unique to the individual. I work in ink, pencil and mixed media, including colour, adapting my style to suit the atmosphere of the room. Recent work includes performing as part of the entertainment team at a sold-out immersive event series in London and drawing live on Twitch and YouTube to an audience of 5,000 people.
