For the 2017 Austin City Limits festival, Ami was commissioned to draw portraits of the platinum level guests as part of their enhanced experience. He did not however set up a booth & draw them with big heads & little bodies but rather wandered through the platinum areas of the stage capturing subjects in the context of the ACL experience, surrounded by the energy of the live acts & the crowd.

After sketching individuals he would paint the drawings in the shade of a big tree in the Platinum area, creating a further level of engagement with the attendees. He would then–before the festival ended–deliver the final painted pieces to the subjects, who were ecstatic to receive the memento of their experience.
