The Zoe Report X Sorel X Deanna First Illustrations

Excited to share images from my event with Sorel Footwear and The Zoe Report at Trunk Club Women in New York City! For my live sketch events I offer customized backgrounds which I sketch beforehand for client. Guests were able to pick 1 of 3 custom background with a theme From Barre to Brunch, Day to Night and Commute to Conference. Each themed sketch matched a new Spring 2018 Sorel shoe. I then proceeded to sketch each guest in their #SORELstyle look of the night, which they were able to take home and frame. :)

IOPE X Deanna First Illustrations Live Sketch Botanical Designs

I teamed up with IOPE, a K-Beauty brand last month where I sketched live on their skincare bottles which are sold at US Aritaum. Attendees could pick out a color-way for me to hand paint botanical and floral designs on. They needed a bit of time to dry so the bottles were dropped off next day to the guests. Check out this live video of me sketching in action! I used acrylic paint, sharpie and micron markers to make these custom illustrations come to life. #IOPE #USAritaum

Lafayette 148 NY X Deanna First at Nordstrom, Costa Mesa

Honored to be part of another amazing event in partnership with Lafayette 148 New York! I headed to CA for the second time this month to live sketch attendees wearing their favorite Lafayette look. The event took place at Nordstrom, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA and lasted for roughly 3 hours.

Attendees were served cocktails while waiting for the runway presentation to begin. This collection is filled with so many amazing prints that really exude confidence. I am so excited to be part of their #WomenArtists Series this year. Photos are by the talented Jarod Harris Photography. 

Their Spring 2018 Collection is just breathtaking! Shop Lafayette 148 New York new collection and you will not be disappointed. #LafayetteLoves #WomenArtists
