One of the important factors to work as an event artist was you needs to take note about the environment. Your working space could be very big (eg. On the football field) or it could be as small as in a restaurant or ballroom that the guests was sitting on the chairs set table by tables.
As a roving caricaturist’s demanded by the organizer, I like to work in a big space, because I like to work in a comfortable space.
Roving in a restaurant, not an easy job, event I had do experienced that since 1990, in 2009’s today, I still need to pay a lots of energy to handle such job carefully during the show time.
You must know where to start, when to pause you drawing while there are someone having a speech during the event. Other than that, you also need to know when to give way for the guests or waiter/ waitress walk pass you while you are roving to draw the sitting guests.
That is a big challenge within this 5minutes to draw a person that having the distraction of the guest being drawn was moving his or her head a lot / someone just walk pass between you and the guest being drawn and so fort….and make sure you drawing still looks alike and having a great resemblance you know…haahaa!
As an ambidextrous caricaturist, I do caricature drawing since 1990 in Singapore. Einstien from Norway is the pioneer caricaturist with certain years before me, then follow by Eric Ng, Saik, Poon Ee Way whose were my senior. Chong Jit Leong, which known having shop at Yishun area doing full time portrait and caricature around that time as well if not wrong. Not much people doing caricature for events fringe art during that period. Nowadays, more than 22 active caricaturists in the industry.

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.
Talented, sexy and beautiful Francesca was performing her ‘fire dancing’!It seems the fire dance was very interesting and attractive! Hm…maybe I should try ‘Fire Caricature’ as well? …..Will try it in my neighbor’s house first! Hee hee!
Beautiful and sexy guest Saee!
