5 Reasons to book a Live Illustrator for your next event in Melbourne
Planning an event is all about making it special for everyone who attends. Whether it’s a brand activation, a corporate event, or weddings. It’s those unique and personalised ideas that make people walk away saying, "Oh my gosh, that was amazing." "That's so clever!" That’s where a live illustrator (Me!) comes in.
If you’re looking for something creative and unforgettable, booking a live event illustrator might just be the BEST decision you make.
1. It’s Fun and a Novelty Experience
In most events, people don’t expect to see an artist sketching live. It’s unexpected, it’s interactive, and it’s such a personal experience. Guests love watching their drawing come to life right in front of them. It’s not just entertainment, it’s a way of making them feel seen and appreciated.
If you’re running a brand activation, having live illustrations adds creative touch that makes your brand memorable. For weddings or any private events, it’s an experience that guests will keep talking about.
2. Guests Leave with a Beautiful Keepsake
Forget boring party favours that end up in the bin. A custom illustration is something your guests will actually want to keep and even frame it. Each one is unique to them, it’s all about their features, their stunning outfit and their unique moment.
At a wedding, I might sketch guests in their beautiful outfits. In corporate events or brand activations, I can add your jewellery, your bags and outfit into the artwork so it represents your brands, make it looks chic and stylish.
3. It’s Perfect for Socials
Let’s be honest, half the fun of any event these days is sharing it on socials. Guests love taking photos of their custom sketches and the whole live art process. It’s exciting, it’s a talking point, and it looks exceptional on Instagram.
For brand activations, this is even better. People posting your branded illustrations, it is organic, genuine marketing.
4. It Adds a Melbourne Creative Vibe
Melbourne is place full of art, creativity and culture, and live illustration fits right in. Whether it’s a wedding, a boutique fashion launch, or a corporate event, having a live illustrator adds that extra bit of Melbourne magic.
It’s something that makes your event stand out in this day and age where people have seen it all. It’s creative, thoughtful, and memorable, just like Melbourne itself.
5. Your Event Will Stand Out
If you’re hosting an event, you don’t want it to feel the same as every other one. You want people to remember it and have a "WOW" factor. A live illustrator brings that unique, personal element that makes your event feel special. Guests will leave with smiles, their custom artwork, and a memory of the amazing time they had.
So whether it’s a wedding, a corporate event or a brand activation, booking a live illustrator guarantees you’ll stand out.
