Overview

I am a live event digital painter based in San Francisco and am available to perform worldwide. I draw live iPad portraits and scenes, using the very latest in state-of-the-art digital paint technology, such as the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, blended with traditional artistic hand-eye coordination. For examples see website. My live event painting is dynamic and engaging live interactive art-tech entertainment that adds that unique cutting-edge "Wow!!" factor to your special event!

I also offer online Virtual Draw-Along interactive experiences for groups via Zoom.

Great experience

Jeremy was fantastic. He showed up on time, knew exactly how all the various tech devices worked, and did a great job painting and interacting with the guests. Would definitely hire him again.

Wonderful for Events

Jeremy was wonderful to work with and showed up early to set up and make sure he was ready. All the guests who were able to have their portrait done absolutely loved Jeremy's work and personality. Jeremy went the extra mile to dress up to be "on theme" for the event and incorporated our invitation art and logo onto the portraits, they were amazing. Highly recommend Jeremy for any and all events and excited to have him back for a future event!

Definitely worth it

We hired Jeremy for a tradeshow in San Francisco and he was very flexible to do whatever we wanted. We had him split between doing digital portraits and traditionally painting 2 canvases and it all worked out well. He had all his equipment, was very friendly to our colleagues and provided some quality giveaways for all the attendees. Would definitely hire again in the future!

Jeremy's painting was the highlight of our event!

We loved having Jeremy paint our event live!!! He captured the spirit of it beautifully and we are framing a print of his work of the event on a wall at Google. He was engaging, friendly and a natural entertainer! Highly recommend him.

Hi Hanna,

Thank YOU and your fabulous colleagues and guests for all being such a pleasure to work with! I loved creating portraits for your party and was honored to add that extra special creative tech-art entertainment to the experience.

Thanks for playing "Beyond the Sea" which inspired moving from the digital canvas to the dance floor!!

I look forward to working with you again. Happy holidays!

Jeremy

What to expect

I create live digital murals at special events, off-sites and team-building events, both in-person (I am vaccinated against COVID-19) and virtually.

About

I am a London-born artist, based in San Francisco. I've been drawing for over four decades and painting with digital media for twenty five years. I have an MA (Oxon) degree in Physics from Oxford University where I also studied life drawing, print-making and sculpture at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, continuing my art studies at the Vrije Academie in the Hague, the Netherlands. I'm the author of six books on digital painting and have performed live digital painting for many hundreds of clients over the last two decades, including Apple, Google, Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, United Nations, CISCO, Cirque du Soleil, Smithsonian Museum, Sony, Virgin Atlantic Airlines, Corel, Creative Artists Agency, DreamWorks, IDG, the de Young and Legion of Honor Museums (San Francisco), The Tech Museum of Innovation (San Jose), Bill Graham Presents, Warner Bros., Wacom, Lucas Films, Xerox, Jack Morton Worldwide and TED Conferences. I created live digital paintings for the Cirque du Soleil TOTEM show in San Francisco; at the opening of the "David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition" in the de Young Museum, San Francisco; in the Nuit Blanche Festival, Toronto; at the largest custom car show in the world, SEMA 2014, Las Vegas; and was the featured iPad artist performing live at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s "America Now! Innovation in Art" 2015 event in Washington DC.

Additional booking notes

For in-person painting an approximately 4' x 8' area is needed, with regular electrical outlet. For San Francisco Bay Area gigs I bring all equipment, including tall chair and a large HDMI screen. For virtual I prepare everything needed and have a Gigabit Zoom studio with 4K webcam, professional lighting, top quality audio and green screen.

Influences and inspiration

My artistic influences include Henri Matisse and LeRoy Nieman - I am naturally drawn to the bold fauvist colors that Matisse pioneered in his early works. As a performer I was impressed with the energy and enthusiasm of the late great live action artist Denny Dent. I had the pleasure to meet both LeRoy Nieman and Denny Dent.

Setup requirements

Regular electrical outlet, two tall chairs, large HDMI display, plus, optionally, Wifi and stage.
