The Art of Control the Crowd III

Through controlling of the queue, you can see many kinds of peoples; like their attitude, the way their reactions…..and their ‘Creativities’.

As a professional event artist, I always try my best to draw as much caricature as possible and try maintain the best quality within such time frame as I can.

In some type of events (usually in companies’ family days) , if there are 10 peoples in your queue, it doesn’t means there are really having 10 peoples queuing for your drawing, it could be multiple of the amount!

What I mean is: while I think this lady is the next person to be drawn in my queue, she does not sit down but will waive her hands and get both of her sons and husband cut the queue to sit down and get drawn instead!Based on this scenario, if one person queuing for 2 family members, you are going to draw 30 persons even though there are only 10 persons in the queue. That is the unexpected circumstances you need to handle.

Of course, people come to family day is to enjoy, there are many free gifts can be taken home and everyone just wanted to ensure each of their family members having the gifts, that is understood.

Unfortunately, we, the entertainers in-charged of producing free gifts might not able to fulfill every single guest’s need due to ensure the event running smoothly within the event’s time frame.

Caricature at Palawan Beach, Sentosa

Great to do a roving caricature job for Exxon Mobil’s family day this morning.
3rd and 4th October is a hot day for events because of the Chinese Mid Autumn festival and also close to the Halloween Celebration period as well I guess.When the market very quiet in previous month, many event entertainers was looking at each other and wishing for job, while the market starts to pick up, that was a sudden high demand for entertainers, that is the events and entertainer’s industrial life, nobody can expect having job booking everyday, because the market got up and down period.
I knew that this morning was having many events in many places in this Singapore island, many events was asking artist, but as usual, whether you are the best, the famous, the fastest, the slowest caricaturists, all of us only can do job at 1 place because the booking hour mostly is the same timing.

Met Ivan and Lee Lee’ and their team doing airbrush tattoo in the event.They always having the long queue.Beautiful balloonist!Alex and her band troupe!Alex was real talented singer, she really good in Jazz, and she had sang a real old mandarin song (60’s or 70’s mandarin song) that really impress every guests which in one event I ever came across.
