Hi, this is Ives from Live Illos. I provide high-quality, real-time illustrations during weddings. I capture not just faces and outfits, but also emotions. Each portrait is drawn with care and speed. I then carefully finish and seal each piece, creating a keepsake your guests can cherish for years to come.
Why couples choose me:
- Speedy yet detailed hand-drawn portraits
- A fun and engaging guest experience filled with smiles and giggles
- Custom illustrations as unique as your loved ones
- A thoughtful process with beautifully polished and timeless pieces
My illustration journey began when I was two, cutting up cushion covers to make collages and doodling all over my mum’s beautifully curated photo albums. Realising I needed a more suitable creative outlet, she signed me up for weekend drawing classes. I’ve since completed more than 15 years of classical training.
Illustration has become my quiet companion through every stage of life. I sketched through school and made countless birthday cards for friends. Later, I completed an illustration placement and studied Design at RMIT.
For the past 10 years, I’ve worked as an in-house designer. Along the way, I’ve continued refining my craft and deepening my love for thoughtful, intentional art.
I enjoy blending creativity with connection and making people feel seen and genuinely delighted through art. Today, I bring that same energy to weddings, offering a distinctive and personal touch to your celebration. I love creating pieces that capture the people and moments that make your day unforgettable.
