Priced and booked

Roving hours can only be sold once

Each package occupies its whole booked length, so a second event on the same evening cannot land on top of it, because overlapping bookings are refused outright.

Every venue and client on record

Past events and pitch locations stay against the client, so a repeat festival or corporate booking starts from what is already known.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for caricaturist & sketch artist businesses

A booking the artist can actually work

The confirmed date carries the venue, organiser and live sketching session brief, not merely a title and a hopeful time.

  • Arrival is part of the jobKeep the event start, access and setup window beside the live sketching session, giving the assigned people a workable arrival.
  • The act is properly briefedKeep the live sketching session brief on the booking so the assigned artist can prepare before arrival.
  • Changes stay with the dateUpdate the active booking when timings or format move, keeping the latest live sketching session detail in the place everyone checks.

Busy dates stay honest

A confirmed live sketching session closes the relevant artist window, while the rest of the diary remains available to book.

  • No accidental encoreOnce the live sketching session is confirmed, that artist cannot be offered for the same event window.
  • Travel gets a proper lookSee the full commitment around the live sketching session before accepting another enquiry that only appears to fit.
  • Quieter dates can moveUse a coupon when you want to encourage a bookable live sketching session date without changing how the busy ones are priced.

The artist fee stays with the booking

See how the live sketching session is being paid from its booking, rather than keeping a second private system in your head.

  • Free keeps manual payments clearRecord cash or bank transfer against the live sketching session when it arrives and keep the booking’s payment position current.
  • Pro takes full card paymentLet the organiser pay the full live sketching session fee online by card, attached directly to the event they selected.
  • One event, one money trailKeep the agreed live sketching session fee and recorded payment with the artist booking, ready when the organiser checks what remains.
