Caricaure for OCS Navy Dinner & Dance

Did a caricature pre-event for OCS Navy Dinner & Dance at Hyatt Hotel, did not expect 90% of the guests were came in couples, meanwhile, I have to draw them 2 in one piece of paper. All the guests was in dress because the dress code was formal, so I saw lots pretty girls….with their handsome boyfriends, opps! No Chance! Haaahaa!

The reception table was decorated by rose, each lady guest will be given a rose when they arrived.

Bar counter was decorated with a plant, that's nice.
The decorated lighting designed with leafs. It was nice, but personnal feeling, maybe the leafs paint into green and bright yellow that will be perfect, jus my imagination only.

Big and small

A client asked me to do a group caricature for their special guest.

Then they also hired my for their event on that night, they had enlarged this group caricature at a back drop and using it for their event openning ceremony!

That was my first time saw my artwork became that BIG!!! Heehee!

Met Yunos!

I met Yunos, Zaki’s brother many years ago, at least 6 to 7 years ago. Seldom see him until last year. He said he was married and based his business at Indonesia, not bad men brother!

Now met him during an event while they hired Yunos and I as their caricaturists.

Look at our ‘fatness’, am I looks like Yunos or Yunos looks like me?
He got more hair to me! Must go Beijing 101 or Yunnan Haircare or Stevenson?

Doing events during year end

Year end is peak period for events like dinner & dance, Xmas promotions etc.
It is a peak period of entertainer as well. Usually, the dinner and dance and family day happened at Friday night and Saturday. The event companies will hire fringe artist to entertain the guest.

During year end peak period, there’s always event companies looking for fringe art artists, jobs is waiting for us, that’s was a good thing for us.

Some people said our income must be very good, that’s not true, because after the peak period, not much job for us, it became artist looking for job to survive.

Due to more and more people joining in this line, the opportunities of getting jobs became less, it became very competitive, and this is good news for event companies, because they got more choices.

Lots artist lower their lower down their price to undercut the job, some event companies try their best to looking for the lowest rate artist as well regardless the artist’s skill level, as well, hence you can see lots ‘fake artist’ (non-skilled people) doing event.

Basically, the guest was not so concern about that due to the fringe art artist was giving free services or free gift e.g. Free caricature, free silhouette cutting (shadow cutting), free henna drawing etc, that’s why the standard of the fringe artist was not important maybe.
