Live Services

Studio XIXI offers live art practices for weddings, corporate gatherings, and other private events. Elevate the guest experience of any special occasion with the timeless artistry of bespoke illustration or calligraphy.

Live Illustration

Live illustration is an uniquely engaging event experience. We illustrate the guests live, focusing on their outfit, energy, and essence.

Guests leave with a tangible piece of art as a keepsake of the day. Our traditional pieces are created with oil pastel, crayons, and pencil crayon. Digital packages with digital art also available.

We offer two distinct illustration styles that offer unique artistic experiences for your guests. 

Our Signature Portraits take 6-8 minutes per guest, and is a more detailed illustration that captures outfit details and facial expressions. We take a photo of the guests to reference for the illustration, and guests can pick up their piece at the end of the event. We typically illustrate 8-10 guests per hour in this style.

Our Flash Portraits take about 90 seconds per guest, and are expressive, gestural sketches that focuses on energy and color. We illustrate guests on the spot as they approach our table and pose for us. We can typically illustrate 30-35 guests per hour in this style.
