Blind contour artist Ian Sklarsky - Expresso Morning Show.
Ian Sklarsky and his agent, Debbie Bacher spent the morning with show hosts Katlego Maboe, Ewan Strydom and Leigh Anne Williams last Friday. The level of professionalism and fun was off the charts. Ian was asked to draw guest singer Nevio Passaro. The blind contour method was put to the test when Ian was also asked to draw their mascot, a french bull dog. All 3 dogs gate crashed the scene, all the while Ian answered questions by Katlego on live television. Not only does this prove that Ian has really harnessed the concept of blind contour, but also wins him the status of mutli-tasker of note! Ian is well known for bringing an incredibly personalized element to brand activations and VIP events. Recently Ian was commissioned to create an adult colouring book for New York City hotel group, Yotel. Please get in touch to work with Ian.
