Caricature Software

Came across a website and found they are introducing the ‘Caricature Studio’. From the cover it seems quiet interesting. I think not a bad choice for those who interesting to DIY their caricature, or using this software to produce a caricature of your face and use the exaggerated face as a reference for you to draw it using your hand with any media.I remember there is a caricature software long time ago is called ‘Kai’s Power Goo’ and I did came across someone using it to produce caricature by shooting the guest faces in the events, then input into this software and then print out as a photo for the guests as take home souvenir.

Such ‘computerised caricature’ item was no longer engaged by the event companies because it took longer time to produce a caricature due to need time to process each photos; moreover, the artist need to do at least a basic setup of the back drop and lighting to do the shooting part for the guest’s photo for the computerised caricature, hence they need to carry a lots of setting stuffs compared with traditional caricaturist.

By hand drawn caricature, we could get comments that claimed the drawing was not looks like the person being drawn, but as the event companies feedback I heard, they get the same comments as well! Because many people can’t accept their faces being exaggerate too much.

Art is very subjective I would say, even a normal photo taken (did not add any effect) for some people yet their friend or themselves could claimed that the person in the photo doesn’t looks like the real person al all. Haahaa!

Braised Stingray

Just Stingray for today :)

Caricature at Warren Golf Club

That was great to meet Ivan and Lee Lee (http://www.sg-airbrushtattoo.blogspot.com/)in the event while I do caricature for Warrant Golf Club’s event. They are doing wire crafts.I don’t like to draw people with mask or wearing sunglasses because no matter how good you produce the drawing but while you just look at the drawing, it could be looks like anyone because your main features was being covered.

Professional Dough Figurine Making

Some event companies was checking if there are professional dough figurine artist in Singapore that able to produce the dough figurine doll which able to keep for a very long time but sill in a good condition because they had been come across some client’s complaint about the flour doll which ordered and given to their special guests or VIPs getting crack or having mould after few weeks later they received it, this caused their client felt very embarrassing.

I did not have any art piece that having such problem, but I do have 2 art pieces given by a local Singaporean Dough Figurine Artist May Toh’ in 2007 (Chinese Pig horoscope year, which I had been post in this blog before).

While I take out these art pieces from my cupboard, both of them were still having a good condition.

As I know, May Toh (http://www.talentsdata.8m.com/maytoh.htm) had learnt her Dough Figurine making skill from 2 masters from China. So I think May Toh is one of the best choices for quality dough figurine making for any of your special guests or VIP.

Another quality Singaporean Dough Figurine Artist I found is Madam Tang (http://tangsart.blogspot.com). Her art pieces were also quality and able to keep for many years as well.

I did meet some professional China Dough Figurine Artist whose came from China during ‘Ang Bao River’ event and related Chinese New Year events. I think their art pieces could be another best choice but thought you need to wait until they come to Singapore during Chinese New Years period.

Tea Leaf Fortune Telling

If you ever watch Harry Potter movies, you could find one of the scene that Harry was in the Tea Leaf Fortune Telling class and being red his fortune by his lecturer. Tea Leaf Fortune Telling is a real fortune telling item in our realistic world in my research.In Singapore, there is a Tea Leaf Fortune Teller I know which is Angela Yip, she is a Rainbow Calligrapher as well in Chinatown.
