In December I was asked to create live “fashion” portraits of any interested employees of the Hudson Bay Company during their holiday party. Located on the west side of Manhattan near the Freedom Tower, the views were stunning. And the building itself, wow.

So yes, I love live drawing, and all of my subjects that day were incredibly sweet and were such good sports about sitting for the 3-5 minutes I spent on each portrait. I was even offered food and beer…which was quite nice as well. All in all a great time. Thanks to my friends Ted and Ed for asking me to be a part of the event.

Here are a few of my favorites from the party.
