Live event artist are conquering the experiential marketing and luxury market scene! So naturally, as a calligrapher and engraver this is quickly becoming my most popular service, not only because guests love to see their name on products on everyday products, but also because of how fast and efficiently I can personalize on most surfaces! Last Christmas I got the opportunity to work at the most incredible pink Christmas party in Tampa, Florida. The three day celebration was honoring Mary Chris Smith’s 60th birthday and was referred to as the “Merry Mary Bash” or “MC60 Bash”. Each guest received a personalized ornament (pink, obviously!) as well as other goodies.

The live on-site calligraphy event consisted of writing the guests initials, name or message on their ornament along with a hand-drawn illustration - they got to pick between a Christmas star, flamingo and the MC60 logo. I was able to write on over 150 ornaments in the course of four hours!

Guests loved the complementary calligraphy activation so much, that they were recording me the whole time and sharing about the event on social media! Most of them didn't know this type of personalization was possible by hand and kept complimenting my speed and calligraphy style. In fact, there was a line in our station the whole night!

*I can engrave calligraphy and block letter fonts on metal, glass and high quality acrylics and also offer live calligraphy, painting and foiling/embossing services.

Someone even requested an ornament for their dog, who had passed away a few days prior. They couldn't hold back the tears once they received the beautiful ornament! #ahandfulofletters
