Wow! Still can’t believe I was invited to do portrait sketches at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. I was part of the Premiere Gift Lounge at the Hazelton Hotel from Sept 10 – 11 where celebs and VIP’s came and got their swag on. And when they were done, they had a quick sit down with me.
It was my first time doing such a big and exciting event, and I was kept on my toes trying to see which celebs came through the door next. I also got the chance to network and mingle with other vendors who were all superb. Huge thanks to Chantel Bedward of Pink Mafia for inviting me to this amazing event! Here are some highlights.




























I initially had a different design for the top part of the dress. It was supposed to be a bustier but I guess I’ll save that for next time. At times the final reminds me of LOTR because of the hair and the dress also has a somewhat sci-fi feel to it.
Sketching at LOULOU Shop Til You Drop 2011
September must be the month of fashion because I have another upcoming on-site sketching gig. This time it’s for LOULOU magazine’s Shop ‘Til You Drop 2011, a shopping extravaganza with over 40 retail partners! Fall is a great time for wardrobe updating, perhaps I should reassess my throng of skirts and add more pants into the mix…anyhow, details:
