Live Illustration at the Henley Royal Regatta
Earlier this month, we attended the Henley Royal Regatta where we illustrated portraits of charity patrons and Regatta guests. We were based within a beautiful pavilion hosted by Copas Events to support Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity.
Live Illustration at Seasalt Cornwall's Meadowhall Store, Sheffield
In 2018 and 2019, we were invited to deliver our trendy live illustration service, supporting the launch of two new Seasalt Cornwall stores in Lytham and Lincoln. We were thrilled to receive an invite to illustrate at Meadowhall, Sheffield.
What is Visual Note-taking?
Visual note-taking combines words and illustrations to make meaning of a situation or concept. It can also be referred to as “scribing” or “live illustration”, they’re essentially the same activity! It supports a range of organisations from universities to corporate businesses.
Behind the Scenes: Take a Seat! Project
Here’s a behind the scenes look at our recent Take a Seat! project, featuring a video of the process. We painted the bench for weeks, so we could fully immerse ourselves in the East Leeds community. We painted on-site and were able to converse with a range of different people. It was a lovely experience to have following months of isolation.
Live Illustration for Mayfair Youth Forum in London
Visual note-taking enabled Buttercrumble to capture London's Mayfair Youth Forum, engagingly and creatively. 2-3 Degrees kindly invited us to document the event earlier this month.
The forum is formed by a group of young leaders aged 14-18 working to enhance #YouthVoice in the Mayfair, London.
Live Illustration at Seasalt Cornwall, Lincoln
To celebrate the launch of the new Seasalt Cornwall store in Lincoln, we were invited to create a buzz with our stylish, live illustration.
We had such a fantastic time and thanks so much to everyone who popped by to receive an illustrated portrait. We hope you enjoy them! They are always a pleasure to create. The new Lincoln store is looking beautiful and situated within the newly redeveloped Cornhill Quarter. It's definitely worth a visit.
This new beginning motivates us to reinvent ourselves, exercise our strengths, and remedy our foibles. I find this especially true of our young generation climbing social ladders and (literally) growing out of their former selves!
