Thomas did an amazing job with our live wedding sketch! It was a beautiful way to show us tying the knot ❤️ He is very communicative and respectful of where the bride and groom would like him to be placement wise if they do not want him in too many photos. He was very easy to talk to and I would recommend him for any couple looking for a new and artistic way of showcasing your special day.

g. Toms work proudly hangs in my home where visitors often comment on how cool and personal it is. My guests loved seeing the drawings as he was working and checked in to see what he was working on at various points in the night. Overall the experience and the finished pieces make this a no brainer in my book. I am excited to have fine art as my first family heirlooms.

When it comes to immortalizing a live event, the service provided by Tom D’Amore comes with a real “wow” factor. Tom transforms events into illustrations in real time. A room full ...
of people becomes – in just a few short minutes – a vivid and inspired artwork filled with instantly recognizable faces. Everyone involved with our festival was impressed watching him work, and many of the artists depicted were ecstatic to see themselves captured in his signature style. In the crucial area of marketing, Tom’s illustrations lent a valuable creative touch. Using his artwork to represent our events helped us to catch and retain our audience’s attention. For comedy fans stuck in the world of the perpetual digital scroll, Tom D’Amore’s sketches were a breath of fresh air.

I found Toms art when I was looking for unique Fathers Day gifts. I sent him a picture of my husband and our daughter maybe 6 weeks before I needed the gift, and he not only made a...
n amazing drawing that truly captured the specialness of the moment, but he gifted us the hand drawn version as well. They’ve become two of my most prized possessions. And the gift?? My husband loved it, of course. ❤️

I have been working with Tom for the last 3 years and plan to work with him as long as I can. I produce live events, Tom has created beautiful and engaging poster artwork for these...
events. The yearly artwork has become just as popular as the events! I've used his art to promote shows and on merchandise and every step of the way Tom has been an asset. I can vaguely describe an idea, Tom will take this idea and bring it to life in a very short turnaround time.
I also have worked with Tom on live drawing events and am always impressed with how he can capture a moment and make it live forever on the page through art.
I highly recommend working with him!!!!
