Okay, so i was going through my Twitter TL early one morning when i stumbled upon a sponsored tweet (I think it was the gold and black design that caught my attention) that invited me to an event exhibition.
At this point, the tweet had my full attention.
Here’s why : The company i work for, Pencils n Brushes Artworks (www.pnbartworks.com.ng) had recently developed a package just for events and we had been looking for the right platform to showcase them.
With products and services ranging from Speed paintings and Live paintings to Wedding I.V designs, we knew the Sugar rush exhibition was going to be the perfect opportunity to reach out to our target audience. Needless to say, we registered on the spot
This is what a speed painting looks like
A few weeks and some phone calls after, we found ourselves at the vendors meeting for what was poised to be the biggest event exhibition of the year.
It was a well-organised meeting, featuring some of the biggest players in the Event sector. On the D-day, we arrived at Intercontinental Hotel and quickly proceeded to our booth to set up our artworks and gear.
We had decided to exhibit a speed painting, perform a Live painting of the hall and also show Jon ‘Ifa’ Snow to the world.
The invited guests started trooping in sometime around 12noon. ChiGurl was in her element, cracking everyone up while we painted and talked to the guests who came to our booth.
A lot of them were drawn in by Jon ‘Ifa’ snow, by the way. He played his part well.

We explained our services to them and they were quite receptive to the idea of Visual art at events. How else can i explain how beautiful the entire event was? The Hall was beautiful. Wande Coal’s stage performance was riveting. ChiGurl couldn’t have done better. The crowd was sizeable. All the vendors were impressive.
I think it will suffice to say this: My name is Tolu Binutu. I am the Co-founder and Developer at Pencils n Brushes (PnB for short) and Sugar Weddings and Events can be sure that we will be back for more, next year!
