DRAWING BOOTH PORTRAIT ARTISTS

Description

Drawing Booth seeks exceptional artists to provide sophisticated hand-drawn portraits on an iPad for private and corporate events. Artists must be reliable, comfortable working with a crowd, able to engage event-goers in casual conversation and able to draw flattering portraits of people in as little 3 minutes.

The job of the artist is not only to capture the portrait, but to engage with attendees, while handling the technology and procedures smoothly with aplomb. Tasks include drawing the portrait, engaging in conversation with the subject and guest-bystanders, diplomatically fielding attendee and client requests, saving and sending the completed drawings to the client and to print on a mobile hip-holstered printer, and presenting the finished work- all in a matter of minutes.

If you are confident about your live portraiture and ability to work a crowd, apply today!
