Bring in a striking visual artist for an eye-catching new approach to a stale stage show. New York artist Charlene Lanzel creates images in sand on a light table. As she works, a camera projects her progress onto a screen so the audience can watch. Her standard performance is a 25-minute set of original designs, but clients can also request logos and other custom images. Fees range from $1,200 to $5,000.
Drawing Booth specializes in live digital art for events. The company works with a team of artists who can walk around events asking if guests would like their portrait drawn. The realistic portraits, which are created on iPads, take about three to four minutes to draw and then can be emailed to the subject immediately. Artists also print the image using a special printing belt, providing another instant favor for event guests that won’t disrupt their evening. Drawing Booth can also provide branded backgrounds for the portraits, incorporating company logos or other custom images. The company has been expanding its offerings to include marketing activations, product launches, and in-house digital art for corporations. Drawing Booth has offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and London, but is available for events worldwide.
