I'm Karlee Patton, a Portland-based artist who loves connecting with people. Bad Portraits is all about creating a fun and memorable experience for guests who sit with me for quick portrait sessions during your reception. We have engaging conversations while I hand-draw each portrait and give it away as a unique memento and gift from the newlyweds. As an optional keepsake, portraits can be compiled into an illustrated guestbook along with written messages from guests, resulting in a unique and sentimental coffee table book. I scan each one as I draw to save a copy for the book, so guests can keep their portraits as a custom gift when they leave. Have a big wedding and want every single guest to be drawn? I can get to work before your wedding, creating ready-to-go party favors that also work great as placeholders for the reception tables.
