Did caricature drawing for a family day at Sentosa last week and great to met the nice guests.Balloonist and body painting artists were busy entertaining the guests.The event company had hired ice cream man giving free-flow ice cream to all the guests. The ice cream man had came to me and told me one of his best friend Chong Jit Leong is the best caricaturist in Singapore, I do agreed that, as long you having best skill and there will be always having people giving a good comment to you.
The ice cream man also mentioned another of his best friend was Ivan and Lee Lee who doing body art and airbrush tattoo.
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.

Quick Small Town Tour in Malaysia
Just went to a small town of Malaysia and have a quick tour to take some fresh air after a long staying in a ‘Building Forest’ in Singapore. Look! You can only see low building here!I did like to see those tall buildings, I like to see the different designs of the building structures, but sometime I also like to observe those low building especially those without and taller buildings behind them, that was a different feeling to me.I always like to eat! Very nice Nasi Lemak at 'Old Taste Cafe'Nice Nasi Bryani at the restaurant at Larkin, JB’s bus station

Unknown Worm
Just saw this big size unknown worm on the pedestrian walk near my house block. Thought it was dropped from the tree due to wind blows or raining.It was about 6 inched long! It was quite scary to me. I thought it was a toy while I first looking at it, because it skins was a bit shinny like plastic or silk fabric.

Large Size Caricature Painting
Saw from today’s news paper and knew that the new Tampines 1 shopping mall having an official opening tomorrow, usually there are some performance and free gifts for the shopper on that day like balloon sculpture and etc. One of the items they are going to present to the shopping on tomorrow (18 Jul and 19 Jul) will be Australian Brad Blaze’s Speed Painting and Caricature that was very interesting.
Brad Blaze is an ambidextrous artist and the way he paint was using a twist-able painting board the paint in an unusual way using his both hands from unexpected angles!He is very creative and talented! The most important thing was the way and prop of his performance was real original!You can see his youtube capture at:
