Courtside Creativity: Turning Fans into Basketball Stars with Live Portrait Art!

Last week was a slam dunk! I had the incredible opportunity to team up with Gillette, the official partner of the Toronto Raptors, for a unique event at Throne Barbershop in downtown Toronto. The energy was electric, with fans buzzing with excitement for the chance to meet and greet Raptors sensation, Gradey Dick.

My role in this awesome experience? Transforming guests into basketball stars with personalized portraits!

10 Minutes, 1 Masterpiece

Each guest sat with me for a quick 10-minute session, and in that time, I captured their likeness with a fun twist – reimagining them as a baller on the court. It was amazing to see the smiles on everyone's faces as they saw their portraits come to life. They got to take home a unique piece of art and a memory of an unforgettable day with the Raptors and Gillette.

Live Event Artist: Bringing the "Wow" Factor

This event really highlighted how live portrait art can elevate any occasion. Whether it's a corporate gathering, a wedding, or a brand activation like this one, a live artist adds a touch of personality and creates a memorable experience for guests.
