Event Mural at BizBash Event Style Expo

This week, NYSketches had a booth at the BizBash Event Style Show.  We showcased our services, and created an Event Mural, of notable New Yorkers.  Event attendees could have their portraits quickly painted next to their favorite celebrity.  One guest, who is known for her packaging  business, asked to be painted next to Martha Stewart.  See her with her beautifully wrapped package below.  Other celebrity New Yorkers painted in the mural:  Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, Michael Strahan, Derek Jeter, David Letterman, Howard Stern, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, Jay Z, Rudy Guiliani, and Michael Bloomberg.

Event Mural at Holiday Party

In August, we did an event mural for SLGreen Realty Corp. at their holiday-in-summer party.  The party was held at the Aspen Restaurant in NYC.  The mural was 6 x 4 ft, and I painted much of the mural before hand from photos of the guests at the event.  I incorporated the theme of the event into the mural in which all the guests were skiing down a mountain in Aspen.  Here are some photos of the mural in progress:
