Donald Robertson Talks Express Art, Funboy Pool Floats, Buying Billie Lourd's House Rosemary Feitelberg Donald Robertson will be living up to his "Drawbertson" Instagram handle at Tuesday night's New Yorkers for Children gala. The artist will be doing on-the-spot drawings for guests at "A Fool's Fête: Enchanted Garden" at the Mandarin Oriental for a crowd of 350. "I love doing live painting. I'm known for this in the past, but never in a charity aspect." Robertson said Monday. "I can do a million, because I'm super fast." So much so that a two-minute time frame isn't out of the realm of possibilities. "They are super fast 'painty' sketches, so I can crank them out pretty quickly. I do think it's the nature of the medium. I've been doing it for so long that I can capture people pretty quickly. I call it art-ism." Robertson said. As for how he has excelled at express art, Robertson said, "I would just say, I black out and I can whip them off. Then I come to and it's sitting in front of me." (He also took care of the invitations.) Alice + Olivia's Stacey Bendet, Waris Ahluwalia, Selita Ebanks and Crystal Renn are expected to be at the spring celebration, which has Chloe as a lead fashion sponsor. Robertson has other fashion-related Follow WWD on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook. Read More... Fashion 3
