A.E. Kieren Illustration

His style is simple yet he really captured the essence of our guests. It was so fun to see their faces light up when they received the artwork, not realizing at all they were being observed but the stealthy artist. Would highly recommend!!

so much for this piece of art AE!!

guests simply enjoying themselves. Each sketch felt personal and full of life, and the best part was watching him gift each illustration to the guest as a keepsake from our special day. It created such a surprise-and-delight moment for everyone. Anthony was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish, and by the end of the night he had become so popular that a queue formed of guests hoping to get their own quick portrait before the celebration ended. It truly added a unique, unforgettable touch to our wedding atmosphere. We would highly recommend hiring A.E. Kieran for any event if you’re looking to add something extra special that your guests will remember.

 He is extremely talented, discreet, and spot on.  

work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

great addition to any event, but he is sweet, funny and very good at what he does. By the end of the night his drawing table had become the hi light of the party and everyone was gathered around watching. It was a really fun and unique thing to bring to a birthday party and I can’t say enough good things about it. He is super talented and a joy to be around . 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Thanks again Anthony.,

er—and at several family events before—he quietly worked his magic in the background, only revealing his presence when beautifully packaged drawings appeared at each guest’s seat. The surprise and joy on their faces were unforgettable. I truly can’t recommend Anthony enough—he’ll be the hidden gem of your event and the thing everyone remembers.

nd versatility consistently shine through, no matter the scope or style of the illustration. Anthony’s ability to adapt to different needs and bring ideas to life is unmatched, making every collaboration a smooth and enjoyable experience. Most recently, I hired him for a big corporate event, and the feedback was overwhelming — everyone was absolutely thrilled with their illustrations. His work is always impressive and leaves a lasting impact. Whether you’re looking for something detailed and intricate or bold and simple, Anthony’s work always exceeds expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch illustration services!

s unmatched. I have received nothing but rave reviews from clients particularly complimenting the personal experience he offers and the amazing art he creates. I highly recommend hiring him for your special day:)

your events — who just happens to produce beautiful illustrations while being with you. His approach is so chic. He interacts discreetly, discovering which guests to illustrate and once his drawing is complete, he offers a most elegant surprise and delight moment for his subject in subtle envelope. He provided his artistry for my sister’s wedding and most recently my own — leaving a lasting memory for both the guests and the hosts. Not planning to marry again — but I will plan to ask Anthony to illustrate other future events. Book him and discover his magic.

agic to the night.

ch of them inside - it delighted our guests every time. The sketch he did of me is so amazing and I plan on framing it to hang on my wall! Plus, he's a true professional, clear and timely with communication and event needs. Do yourself a favor and hire this gem of a human to bring something so special to your wedding or other events!

way to have entertainment for the guests. This was a surprise I gifted my husband for the day, and it was such a fun gift...and a fun surprise for the guests, too. It was a really personal way to have entertainment...as guests are given a piece of his beautiful art from the couple. But also for all guests to experience as he is within space. He takes up such little room, that it makes it really feel like undercover...you want to see what he is doing and who he is drawing next. He was able to draw both our parents, and us, and it is a piece that we will have forever as a wonderful memory of our day. Thank you Anthony for being part of our wedding!

Anthony even incorporated my daughter's dress colors into the sketches with watercolor. If you are looking to add that something special to your party I would absolutely recommend Anthony!!

and communication was smooth before the event. He was creative and eager to please as we worked together on finalizing the specific requirements we wanted for our private party. He was pleasant and warm at the event itself- Speaking with adults and children alike in a respectful and approachable manner. And then oh my the masterpiece he presented at the end of the night was superb! We all loved it! We will definitely look for opportunities to book him again. His art was an overall crowd pleaser we can’t wait to frame and have forever as a keepsake from a special milestone event for my family. Highly recommend!!

f our key board members and donors. It was such a special addition to the evening and a hit with our guests, who got to leave the event with a beautiful memento. From start to finish, Anthony was a dream to work with. He communicated regularly leading up to the event, and asked questions with regard to how we best wanted to utilize his skills. As an event planner, I so appreciated working with a vendor who brought everything he needed and then, night of, went above and beyond to deliver something beautiful and special for our guests. I would happily and enthusiastically recommend Anthony for any event!

he essence of his subjects in a way that feels both intimate and magical and his drawings are gorgeous and stylish. We chose to draw guests secretly and to reveal the drawings later in the evening. When the time came for A.E. to present his drawings to the guests, the reactions were nothing short of awe and wonder. Each person held their portrait, their eyes widening as they discovered a moment frozen in time, a true reflection of their personality and beauty. It was a joy to witness their surprise and delight, as they marveled at how seamlessly he had managed to capture their essence. Not only is A.E. Kieran an incredibly talented artist, but he is also a true professional. His passion for his craft was evident in every stroke of his pencil, and it was contagious, spreading a sense of excitement and anticipation throughout the event. Working with A.E. Kieran was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His warm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, and his ability to work discreetly ensured that the atmosphere remained undisturbed. He seamlessly blended into the event, becoming a part of the evening's magic. I cannot recommend A.E. Kieran highly enough.

If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable addition to your event, hiring A.E. Kieran is an absolute must. His ability to capture guests perfectly, combined with the surprise element of their discovery, creates an experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who have the pleasure of being drawn by him. 10 stars ⭐️

eat prep call so we knew what to expect and had a lovely professional demeanor. People at the party were already asking how they can hire him!

only was he super talented but our guests loved him. He made so many memorable sketches for our guests, he was the talk of the wedding!! Highly recommend hiring him, he was professional, responsive and very respectful. Thank you Anthony for making our day so special! We’ll never forget it!!

ionalism and beautiful work. My favorite is seeing the look on people's faces when Anthony presents them with a gorgeous portrait that they weren't even aware he was drawing. This unique approach is really what sets Anthony apart from me and has me reaching out to him time and time again. I look forward to all our amazing collaborations in the future!

r many years. He is also super responsive, engaging, and very professional. He is worth every penny. You will not go wrong in any way hiring him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I have used him both for personal shows I run, and also my own corporate events. Anthony is 6 stars, but they don't have that rating! He is PHENOMENAL!

credibly beautiful illustrations are the highlight of the event. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a hand-drawn illustration of a bride on her wedding day is worth a million. Skip the champagne, forget the cake, hire A.E., and your wedding will be one to remember. (I'm a wedding producer myself, and A.E. has elevated every event he has worked for me.)

tunning portrait of the couple as they shared their vows, he captured friends in stunning attire, flower girls in crowns, the father of the bride, and many many more moments that I did not have the privilege of peeping myself! Anthony was punctual, worry-free (what else can claim that title on a wedding day?!), and a dream to work with. I look forward to a time when I can hire him again, and look forward to any event where I might spy him working away behind his opera glasses.

th Anthony and his team was seamless from the point of reaching out, through the big day, my easiest vendor! Incredible, fun option that I highly recommend!

ork, made the experience incredible for all parties involved. I would highly recommend A.E. for any event of any type.

home with them - a piece of art they recognize themselves in! Cannot recommend him enough! He will take your event to the next level!

o have my guests go home with a self-portrait. Anthony was very professional and engaging and his talent speaks for itself. This was a great added surprise to my event that was so unique it will be remembered by everyone in attendance. I will absolutely be hiring Anthony for all my future events as my guests are still raving about him! I cannot thank him enough for sharing his talent with everyone and making the party even more fun!

just gush over how special his art was as a memento to their night. Even if clients aren't looking for unique acts for their events, I always recommend A.E. Kieren as something to consider. He will change the entire event from start to finish! This doesn't even touch on his level of professionalism, quick communication skills, attention to timelines and how self proficient he is as a vendor. He always ensures he will arrive early, even when his setup is not complex or timely. Such a gem here in New York City!
