How it works

  1. Sketched live

    Our artist creates fashion sketches or guest portraits by hand on a tablet.

  2. Printed on the spot

    Finished sketches are printed as 4 × 6-inch glossy keepsakes—our standard format.

  3. Yours digitally

    After the event, guests can download their artwork from the shared gallery to save on their phone, post or share.

Explore add-ons

Illustrated backgrounds, specialty printing, screens and projection can be explored as add-ons. These are quoted separately and aren’t included in the standard package.
