Live Illustration at Seasalt Cornwall, Lytham

Illustrating The Secret Garden: The Finished Illustration
We partnered with York Theatre Royal and Little Vikings to bring the outside, inside for Bloom! Festival 2018. Over the course of a sunny Saturday, we illustrated the windows of the theatre and encouraged visitors to join us. We were inspired by the nearby gardens and used this in our drawings.
Live Illustration at Meadowhall Sheffield
Earlier this week, we illustrated at the Ladies' Night shopping event at Meadowhall in Sheffield. Customers could sit with us for 10 - 15 minutes to receive a personal portrait. It was such a fun evening and we met so many lovely people. This creative experience left everyone smiling.

Bertie's Brilliant Transformation
Bertie's in Elland, south of Halifax, is one of the area’s most popular venues. It's been host to countless celebrations for over thirty-years. Although extremely successful, one quiet week forced the team to think creatively. What could they do to re-engage the public? After scratching a few heads, they had an epiphany in the shape of cake. They could transform the ground floor space into a charming and welcoming tea room.
Over two days, Buttercrumble’s founders, Chloe and Abigail, created more than 100 individual, bespoke hand-drawn portraits – a real novelty in our world full of algorithms, AI and automation.
