My paper stock is marked with "Drawn Quickly by Jensine Stickley" on the bottom. For the price of materials, I can print a personalized message, sticker, or stamp that helps commemorate the reason for your event instead of my normal watermark. I will need 3 weeks notice to produce this stock.

Extra details.
The setup: The experience requires at least three chairs, one for me and one for two guests or more. We can discuss whether I will bring them or the venue will provide them. At my station, I will have a stack of paper, drawing supplies, and a small lamp if needed. I will have a small sign which reads, "Complimentary Portraits​."
​
The atmosphere: With Quickly Stickley Studio, you can expect a group watching the drawing process as well as an excited queue waiting their turn. There will be giggles with the long-anticipated artwork reveals. It's the perfect icebreaker. Other than an excited crowd, I will keep my space small and have minimal signage.
​​​
The following stipulations are about my limits as an artist and not about my personal views:
​​
-
The portrait booth is not suitable near a dance floor or the music speakers. The lighting and sound are not conducive for drawing, and I may not be able to see or focus on my subject.
-
I prefer not to draw at events where alcoholic beverages are being served. I will make exceptions under certain circumstances, ie: daytime events, large vendor events, or personal connections to the event host. When we talk, I will assess whether I am a good fit for your event.
-
My booth "hours of availability" are 8 am to 9 pm. I'm a morning person, so my drawing abilities greatly decline after 9 pm. I might consider negotiating a time outside these hours.
-
I typically draw in timeslots of 2-5 hours. If you are planning an "all day" event, we can discuss the optimal timeslots for set up and break down or for me to take a 1 hour "recharge" break.
-
I usually will not be able to draw ALL of your guests unless you have a very limited guest count.
