Old Local Talented Artists
Met some senior art and crafts artists recently and complained to me that they hardly get booking from the event company for recent years, most of them realised those new immigrant foreign talents were under cutting them, I am sorry to say, I can’t help much for this.
This is because I found that some of these them really talented art and crafts originally local (Singaporean) artists who are in their 60s and above (calligrapher, dough figurine experts etc), I respected and salute their skills without any doubt, I ever tried my best helping them and promote their talents to event companies; unfortunately, they either unable to communicate with the related event companies or either do their art and craft demo in an old generation way during the event, means that they do not even wanted to communicated to the publics.
Sad to say, if they do not change their attitude and their thinking, they will be replaced by the new immigrant talent since not much local young people willing to learn such unique skills.
They will not qualify to complaint anything since they can’t change themselves to meet the realistic world; that was really wasted, thus, nobody know Singapore having such great local talents existing.
What a pity for these group of senior artist whose try their best to hide their skill after putting huge effort and time to learn and develop their special skills.

Caricature at Palawan Beach, Sentosa
Great to do a roving caricature job for Exxon Mobil’s family day this morning.
3rd and 4th October is a hot day for events because of the Chinese Mid Autumn festival and also close to the Halloween Celebration period as well I guess.
When the market very quiet in previous month, many event entertainers was looking at each other and wishing for job, while the market starts to pick up, that was a sudden high demand for entertainers, that is the events and entertainer’s industrial life, nobody can expect having job booking everyday, because the market got up and down period.
I knew that this morning was having many events in many places in this Singapore island, many events was asking artist, but as usual, whether you are the best, the famous, the fastest, the slowest caricaturists, all of us only can do job at 1 place because the booking hour mostly is the same timing.
Met Ivan and Lee Lee’ and their team doing airbrush tattoo in the event.
They always having the long queue.
Beautiful balloonist!
Alex and her band troupe!
Alex was real talented singer, she really good in Jazz, and she had sang a real old mandarin song (60’s or 70’s mandarin song) that really impress every guests which in one event I ever came across.

Just a Mid Autumn Theme Chinese Paper Cutting
Usually in theme related design, there are standard items to be put in, like this Chinese mid Autumn Festival, usually contain the moon, clouds, angels and related ancient theme stories.
I just applied the Chinese word ‘中秋’ means ‘Mid Autumn’ and amend some related cuts in this existing design.
It took me totally 6 splitting hours to complete this artwork! Ouchi! Heehee!

Mid Autumn Festival
This coming Saturday and Sunday (3rd and 4th Oct) was a hot day for entertainers, because it is the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival, many event companies was looking for artists for these two dates at the same timing.
Even though that was high demand on these two days, doesn’t means every event artist sure can take in many job bookings, because it always only happened at the same timing, for example 100 event companies looking for you at 3rd Oct 6.30pm-7.30pm but you only can take in one job, you can't split yourself to do show at else way as the same timing.
In this mid autumn festival, I don’t have fortune telling booking but booked for Chinese paper cutting demo ;p

Event Artist’s Job Volume
According the latest news, the world’s economy starting recovered from the previous’ economy crisis, thus in our events and entertainment industry was picking up as well.
Due to the economy’s crisis plus the H1N1 incidents, the market really quiet, many entertainers do not have much event booking, this is not a surprise due to our past experience of the SARS incident between the months of November 2002 and July 2003; in such circumstances, event entertainer’s booking definitely not much.
Usually due to such circumstances, you can see some new comers was anxiously asking around why they can’t get more job, I would say this is because they do not see what happen to the big environment, they did not understand the peak and down period of the event industry in Singapore as well, of course this is because due to they are too new and inexperienced.
The new entertainers starting suspect their competitors had been undercut them and they were trying hard to find out what was happening on their competitors.
In my experience, once the market down, all the entertainers will facing the same poor booking problem altogether, nothing about who is under cutting who (unless those really do so).
Technically, it was much tougher to gain more jobs in this industry whether you are part timer or full timer due to same type of entertainers was growing and had been crowded in the current market.
For example, in 1993, caricaturist who’s in the market including Einstein (the pioneer caricaturist in Singapore) from Norway, Eric Ng, Desmond Ng Cheng Eng, Saik, Chong Jit Leong and few more people.
In 2009 today, they are more than 28 caricaturist in the market including Kamal Dollah and his wife Roushi Ye (also known as Singapore Florism Artist),
Reggie Wan, William Lee,
Zaki and his brother Yunos,
Mat Tokang, Belle Kwan, Diana Lim,Mulan Tay,
new China immigrant Luo Yong, Luo Yong’s Father Luo Rui Lin,
mother Niu Quan Lian and Luo Yong's Husband Mr Liu who is a researcher in NUS,
Guinness’ World record of fastest caricaturist Peter Zhou (known professionally as Peter Draw), Wilson Lee, Shawn,
Oh Thiam Huat and his brother, Pak Ah Bee,
Joyce, Daniel Lim, Rizal Wahab, Arthority,
Hafiz Abdullah, Mohamed Izwandy,
CyBeriNa, Rohani, Noor Rahman Saini, dancerene and etc.
