Painter & Digital Illustrator

Job Description

Silicon Valley Consulting is hiring an Anime-Focused Painter & Illustrator on behalf of our client, The Beverly Hills Private Art Community, a private art community based in Beverly Hills.

This is a public-facing creative role for an artist who can bring anime, manga, character design, visual storytelling, and expressive illustration into high-end recreational art experiences. You will help lead live painting and digital illustration sessions during art walks, gallery nights, private gatherings, and community events.

The right person is not just technically strong. They are comfortable in front of people, able to explain their creative process, and capable of making art feel approachable for guests who may be beginners, collectors, creators, or casual art lovers.

What You’ll Do

• Lead or co-lead anime-inspired painting and illustration sessions for recreational art groups.
• Create live painting or digital illustration demonstrations during public and private events.
• Help guests understand character design, color, composition, mood, and visual storytelling.
• Develop beginner-friendly art exercises inspired by anime, manga, digital illustration, and contemporary visual culture.
• Represent The Beverly Hills Private Art Community professionally at events.
• Collaborate with event coordinators to shape themes, materials, and guest experience.
• Help create an atmosphere that feels creative, welcoming, polished, and memorable.

Ideal Background

You may be a strong fit if you have experience in one or more of the following:

• Painting, drawing, digital illustration, anime art, manga-inspired art, character design, or concept art.
• Teaching, workshop facilitation, live art, public events, or creative group activities.
• Procreate, Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Illustrator, or similar digital art tools.
• Creating original characters, expressive portraits, stylized figures, fantasy art, fashion illustration, or narrative scenes.
• Working with beginners and helping people feel comfortable making art.

Formal art education is welcome but not required. A strong portfolio, clear communication, and a professional public presence matter more.

What We’re Looking For

• A portfolio that shows strong taste, technical ability, and a recognizable creative point of view.
• Comfort explaining artistic decisions in simple, engaging language.
• Ability to work with guests who may have different skill levels.
• Reliability, punctuality, and strong event professionalism.
• Interest in anime, manga, visual storytelling, pop culture, or character-driven art.
• Ability to create a welcoming environment without making the room feel overly academic or intimidating.

Nice to Have

• Experience leading paint-and-sip events, art classes, creative workshops, gallery activations, or live illustration sessions.
• Existing social media presence as an artist, illustrator, painter, or anime-focused creator.
• Familiarity with the Los Angeles art, anime, creator, or entertainment community.
• Ability to help design event concepts around specific themes, shows, genres, or emotions.
