Caricature at Marina Mandarin Hotel
I was thinking this evening that I having a caricature pre-event at Meritus Mandarin Hotel at Orchard road, so I want to this hotel for my booking, when I reach the place, I realized that tonight do not have any event in all ballroom! I called the person in-charge to confirm the event venue immediately and realized the actual working place was at Marina Mandarin Hotel!
That was quiet lucky that I rush to my working place in time! As an entertainer, rule number one was you can’t be late, so it you are having next booking which the starting time was too close to your finishing time for your current show, my advice was try not to take the job; because if you are not in time to reach the next working place in time, client could make complaint, yet it will spoil you name!
It was great to meet someone you know in the event! I met the popular airbrush tattoo artist Ivan & Lily in the event! They fetch me home and treat me with tasty food on this day! Heehee! They are very nice persons! See their blog: http://sg-airbrushtatto.blogspot.com you will know!
It was great to know friends that humble and low profile type people like them, not arrogant, not ‘sure win’ type, not try to be the famous people in the world, comfortable be a friend with them.

Caricature at Pan Pacific Hotel
Did an event for a children activity at The Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore for a seminar’s children activities section. Met nice guests in the event, that was very lucky am I!
Talking about the drawing speed, that will be 20-25 or slightly more drawing per hour (for the above quality for live caricature drawing), I mean 1st hour, 2nd hour and 3rd hour you got to be maintain in the same speed.
Of course that a lot more artists much faster than me and their 1st hours’ drawing quantity might be much more than me, but talking about speed, that will be stamina concerned; to maintain same quantities drawing to be drawn, it could be quiet tiresome actually. Basically, the temperature of the environment also one of the factor affect your speed of drawing.

Studio Portrait Photography
Studio photography was fun and interesting. You need to know how to adjust the lighting, what posing to suit the model or the people being shooting through your camera. I was not doing portrait and artistic shooting for more than 10 years. In my memory, I ever did a studio modeling and furniture shooting before, it was real interesting.
