Local Skillful and Talented Event Artists that I Came Across (II)

I had came across few local senior (especially those aged above 50s) and skillful artists that complaint foreign artists had take over their jobs and caused them having poor event job bookings.

Hence, I had tried my best to introduce them to whom asking for the related items for the relevant events; I did not do and mark-up or commission in the whole process, I just try making them happier due to they having more jobs and able to gain higher chances to let the public knows their great artworks and so ford.

I was quite happy that May Toh’s Dough Figurine demo cum Workshop for events activities having good feedback from many event companies. Clients was happy about her smiling friendly attitude and able to give away certain amount of samples to the guests who interested on her Dough Figurine Making. The great thing was May Toh was a really skillful dough figurine master, a Singaporean Chinese Dough Figurine professional that really having international standard.

There are definitely having few more highly skill Singaporean dough figurine experts around. Unfortunately one of the experts that I highly respected and had been putting lots efforts in recommend her to event companies, had been getting many undesirable comments which according the feedback from event companies, she only allow to give one or few pieces of samples to the guests in her demonstration and the most worst thing was she getting unfriendly face or ‘Black’ (attitude) face during the whole event. If was quite sad that I unsuccessful to help her to promote her very very fantastic artworks to the world. She is a real skillful Singaporean great artist, thought it might be her conservative thinking and unable to open her heart to the world (正所谓“放开心怀，舍得即是”，“生不带来，死不带去“，得失看得太重，纵是再才华横溢仍无法让天下人皆知，岂不遗憾？), that was a waste; yet her attitude caused her phase out of the market.

Local Skillful and Talented Event Artists that I Came Across (I)

Talking about local talented event artists, there are many peoples.
Due to the globalization, it increased the competitive levels in various industries.
The main industry which I working in ---- the event & entertainment industry, had been having some changes as well.
Due to having many new immigrants in Singapore, you can see many new talents and new entertaining items appear in various events within about recent of 4-5 years.

Some new or old items that became popular gradually that I had come across recent years, mainly belonging tradition China items that including: Chinese Dough Figurine (面人), Chinese Paper Cutting (剪纸), Rainbow Calligraphy (彩虹书法/ 龙凤书法/ 七彩书法), Chinese Art & Crafts (Chinese Knotting 中国结, Chinese Ang Bao Lantern Making 红包灯笼), and recently so many people was looking for Chinese Malt Candy (造型麦芽糖) which made in various design especially emphasize in the Chinese Zodiac design (as I know, we can’t find any local artist able to provide this item yet so far).I did came across some local talents can do some of the mentioned above items in a very high standard (much better than some of the present new immigrant in the event industry, especially some of those local artists, means Singaporean senior artists whose aged above 50s and in the industries for at least 20 years).

That was great to came across Wan Keng's Chinese Knotting Art Demo in one of the Chinese New Year event while I doing my fortune telling in the same event.Based on the comments from event companies, she is one of the kind artist that willing to share her art to the guests and willing to give away certain amount samples of her artworks, because according some event companies, there were few Senior Chinese Knotting artist that insisted not to give away any sample during the event.
