Dream Day Sketching Pets @ Hermès

I had a pleasure sketching pets @hermes on Madison Ave for their #WoofDay Event at the end of September. In celebration of @humanesocietyny and @madisonavebid. I can honestly say this was my “dream job event”, the love I have for animals is endless and getting to sketch them was so fun! Below you can see I had a wide range of animals to sketch from Golden Retrievers, Pugs, Labradoodles, Dachshunds and even a cat! Yes, a CAT, I can’t tell you how extra excited I was to sketch a cat, as many of you know I have my cat Suess who is 12 years old! I’ve had her since she was a kitten and even my logo was inspired by her.

Madison Ave invited the public to shop with their dogs to benefit The Humane Society of New York, who provided free pet-related programming throughout the day, including talks and tips by veterinarians, meeting pets that were available for adoption, pet portraiture and other activities. Madison Ave and Hermès were both honored to support the compassionate and devoted work of the UES neighbors at The Humane Society of New York. This event represented an important milestone in making New York a dog-friendly city.

Spoiling your pets to a whole new level. Hermès has unveiled its new collection catered only to the most extravagant of canines. Serving as an extension to their Home, Outdoor, and Equestrian line, the brand is rolling out a series of luxury accessories for dogs. The new line includes baskets, leashes, collars, blankets, and even dog bowls made by the 184-year-old luxury house. In case you thought their pet-friendly items are also budget-friendly. One of Hermès' luxury pet items that has since turned heads online is the oak wood dog bowl inspired by their Chaîne d'Ancre jewelry motif. Made using traditional barrel-making techniques, the stainless steel bowls are enveloped by fine wood and can be separated into two independent bowls connected by their central magnets.

ShopStyle Brunch X Deanna First Sketches at 1 Hotel BK

I was thrilled to work with ShopStyle for the first time this week at The Osprey located inside of 1 Hotel Brooklyn this week! The event was a beautifully executed brunch to celebrate ShopStyle's partnerships throughout the years. Guests could pick from 1 out of 2 backgrounds representing either the Brooklyn Bridge or a Rooftop overlooking the NYC skyline. I pre-illustrated the backgrounds and added in logo in advance.

This was fitting considering the venue location and hotel that is known for its stunning rooftop views! I attached a few photos from the event. Note, that my live sketches are done in 5-7 minutes each! Hope you enjoy!
