Caricature Shrink Art Key Chain
Did Caricature Shrink Art Key Chain at Swissotel for SMC's dinner and dance to night.
William Lee's sister was doing pebble calligraphy in the event.
Another fringe activity was Hand Phone Crystal Art in this event.
Thought all the guests sure had done their voting before they came to the dinner and dance in today's 7th May 2011, Singapore's General Election Day.
I just realized that down the street and many shopping mall and food court was having not much crowd, thought most of the resident was either stay at home, coffee shop or related venues to wait for the polling result which will be announced 10.00pm or later.

Live Caricature for Event
I do live caricature for event since 1990, our event booking and rate was based on hourly basis, hence we should be produce as many drawing within each hour's booking.
My favorite medium for my caricature job was using wax pen or we called "China Graph" which belonging to crayon material.
You can see my pencil box always having so many drawing pens, this is because I usually like to produce as many drawings within every hours' booking, which I need not do any shading of my drawing pens, hence I can produce about 20-25 drawings within an hour.
There are many caricaturists in the market using marker to do the drawing; I think nothing about good or bad, it depend on the how good the and how fast the drawing to be produce within the booking hours.
I would like to say, the technique in live drawing was very different from drawing in the studio.

Shenzhen, China Trip
Due to the available time schedule of my friends and I, we just arranged the weekend and go Shenzhen, China from Hong Kong.
This was my very first time landing in Hong Kong and I found that Hong Kong was a country surrounding my many mountains.
It was very interesting that our taxi driver having so many hand phone in his taxi! I just curious and asked him, and he told us that were his walkie talkie! Very interesting!
The weather of Shenzhen was very cold for me (about 22 degree) on the day we arrived.
