I worked as a live portrait artist at an exclusive event hosted by Tanqueray Gin in Dublin, celebrating their global ambassador Stanley Tucci. The event took place at the vibrant Little Lemon Dublin and welcomed a guest list of local media, influencers, and Ireland’s top cocktail bartenders featured in Tanqueray’s latest film series.
As an event illustrator, I created custom portraits for guests in just 7–10 minutes each, using bold black and neon green Polychromos pencils to reflect Tanqueray’s signature colour palette. Each sketch was drawn on bespoke, logo-branded card created specifically for the night — a perfect memento and a standout brand activation touchpoint.
There’s nothing quite like the energy of live sketching at an event. Whether it’s a corporate launch, brand activation, or influencer event, live portraiture adds a personal and interactive experience for guests while aligning beautifully with visual branding.
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Ogilvy for bringing me on board. If you’re looking for a live portrait artist in the UK or beyond for your next event, I’d love to hear from you.
