Interactive Engagement for Events
Creative Entertainment Experiences
I painted iPad portraits of guests at Blue Bear Live 2019 annual fundraiser on the Ohana Level of the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco.
Portraits created at a private holiday party in Stamford, Connecticut. Each couple received digital files of their portraits and the cool replay video, plus an 8×10 framed print to take home.
This iPad portrait was painted from life at the Michael Cerbelli’s “The Hot List™” 2019 in Philadelphia. Each portrait subject received the special and unique take-away of digital files of their portrait and the replay video immediately on completion, which they could then share on their social media.

“Thank you again for your support of the ILEA Gala! The character drawings were huge hits and added significantly to the success of the event!” ~ Sean F.
“Definitely worth it! We hired Jeremy for a trade show 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!”
