Mingling Caricaturist

As an entertainer, as a caricaturist, the best working nature is you can sit at one place to do the drawing, but sometimes due to certain events, you may required to mingling around, hence you need to prepared a board and related stuffs even the event booking is not indicated mingling or roaming around is necessary.

Thought for party events, children’s party could be very easy to do, and could be the most difficult to do as well; depend what kinds of the cute, young and little guests you meet. I had been came across many times that during the whole children parties that all the children was running around the place, I have to chase them or draw them from a very far distance, especially those young children who fears to sit in front the person they didn’t know. That is one of the very challenging part doing children party.
The booking in the Pub or KTV, you may need to consider bring a small lighting equipment by yourself due the dim lighting or the blinking of the lighting at your working station, but if you are doing a mingling? You may need to use some special skills to solve this problem, it depend on your experiences.

Roaming Around Caricaturist

Did caricature in a roaming or mingling around style just like the magician for Singapore Polo Club’s event. The guests were very nice and happy attending and enjoy the event very much.As a caricaturist in the event, you are part of the events entertainer, you belonging to the team of the event force during the working hour, so you need to know how and when not too ‘shinny’ while your other colleague’s like the magicians or any other artists roaming around as well.

There are some basic rules need to be follow for example while the magician entertaining the guest, you could not draw the same group of guests at the same time.

When more and more guests arrived, your moving space could be smaller and smaller, and the waiter / waitress could be busy passing by to deliver the foods and drinks, sometimes you may need to give way for them to pass by in between the space of the guest and you while you are drawing; more of other distortions like the light could be shut down in a sudden for an musical opening or related special effect activities.

So you need to put a little more afford on that while doing a roaming / mingling caricature or shadow cutting or magics.

Roaming Event Artist

In some event, some artist required roaming or mobile around to do their performance to entertain the guest, caricaturist and silhouette artist wan unable to avoid it! I even did a roaming palm reading as a fortune teller in an event before!

In my 14 years event artist experiences, I realized one the number 101 thing must be do it nicely, which is the posture while you doing the drawing or silhouette cutting or reading the fortune of the guests: You must be always standing in a nice way, do not hunch your back especially, do not believe you are so great that everyone always give way to you; like if you are in the restaurants, sometimes some people just passing by between you the guests you being entertained; worst still, some waiter/waitress might even accidentally hit you and pour the drinks on you shirt!

Hence, being a roaming entertainer, you might need to always taking care the surrounding environment while you doing your job. That’s not easy, and it needs to spend more energy to pay some attention on it.

I would say, not much caricaturist or silhouette artist willing to roam around to entertain the guests; because it was quiet difficult to handle the environment while you spent your energy and time in the drawing or cutting the silhouette, hence, it could be quiet tiresome; moreover, it could be reduced your quality of drawing or performance it you re not use to it.
