Chinese New Year Event

Finally I felt a little bit relax after completed a Chinese New Year Zodiac Fortune Introduction last week.I seldom give talk because I really need lots time to prepare the data, especially the closer weeks near to Chinese New Year period, everyone was busy doing other event like calligraphy and i usually have palm reading jobs.

Frances's First Book!

Passing by MPH bookshop and came across Frances New book about her real ghosts stories ant the "New Age" session. I just quickly grab one for my personal reading, collection of friend's work and show my support as well.I knew Frances many years and she is a real expert in Poker Card Fortune Telling, which had been doing full time for at least 20 years long! You may like to contact her for a reading session, I would say her reading was very accurate. You might contact her at her website: www.francescardreading.8m.com

Palm Reading for Private Event

Completed a palm reading booking for a private event at Sentosa yesterday.I had been arranged by the organizer as "Roving Palmist" which do my reading in an impromptu to the guests. Hmm...I don't asked to do roving but seems most of the event i do was having high chances being arranged to do in a roving way, please do not blame me to made the rest of the specialists or caricaturists being asked to work in roving way! haahaa! I don't have such power to change the world. Heehee!
Chuan and Pat doing palm reading in the event as well ;p

Peacock at Sentosa

Passing by Sentosa and luckily saw this Peacock showing its beautiful feathers.This Peacock and the baby posing for me to take photo ;p

Roving Job in Shopping Central

Just andother doing roving caricature for Chinese New Year related event in a shopping central ;pOne of my favorite: Curry Chicken Noodle as my dinner for the day.Calvin was doing his balloonist twisting while I doing my roving caricature.Seems everyone was doing roving. I got an idea in my mind suddenly: May be we should have airbrush tattoo artist work in roving style, wire craft artist artist work in roving style and airbrush Mini T-shirt work in roving style? Haahaa!

Roving Caricaturist

Studio caricaturist which work in studio or art workshop or gallery, it totally different from an event caricaturist. Because in the studio, the caricaturist only serving individual customer in live drawing or draw from photos. They can use whatever tools like easel or table and sit in a comfortable way as they like while working on the drawing.

Event caricaturist, which work as an artist who need to entertain immediate and unpredictable crowd in the event like family day, dinner and dance, product launch and etc.

As an event caricaturist, sometime we unable to know whether the event we are doing surely having proper setting like providing table and chairs for us or not; I had experience many times that the event venue totally do not have any proper setting, it forcing us do our caricature drawing in a roving way.

Sometime you have to start to do your caricature drawing in the indicated time frame to meet the schedule of the event or it could be because you have to finished your drawing session on the dot which allow you to rush to another event booking, it made you having no choice to start your drawing in a roving way as well.

Some venue, like some pub do not have suitable table and chairs for you to set your drawing corner, or the organizer want all artists entertain the guests in a dynamic way, that also part of the reason that caused us do our caricature in a roving way. As a experienced and professional event caricaturist, you have to know how to handle such unpredictable situation, thus, you must be able to be flexible and having proper tools to handle it.

Am I right to say : A professional event caricaturist, should be able to handle any or many difference kind of situation to make the event or our program run smoothly?

Hence, can I say: "A Professional Caricaturist" is totally different from "A Professional Event Caricaturist"?

Because "A Professional Caricaturist" or a caricaturist who work in studio or gallery, never ever need to handle or facing such problem at all.

Roving Caricature Drawing

One of the common request for roving caricature drawing was during special event like Valentine day. We usually been arranged roving around the restaurant or the dining area, After the violin musician or guitarist play the music or song to the guests table, that will be our turn to entertain the guests.

Hence, as long as you are doing live caricature or portrait drawing for event, you are belonging to entertainer, you are required to serve the guests.

Sometimes,we roam around with stilt walkers, close magicians, roving balloonist at the same time, we work as group performing artists or entertainers; meanwhile we are here to create the fun atmosphere for the event, you definitely no longer made the crowd only comes to you because we are sharing the pride as group entertainers.
