It was glad to see 2 of my friends who do busking being interviewed by Channel 8. Doing street art in western country could be always respected by the public, but in Asian country, they saw street artist was equal to someone who are lazy fellow that now willing to work hard, or even saw them equivalent to a beggar! Being a street artist, was really a tough job in Singapore.
Alan was in the TV!
Roy and his partner (girl friend that looks like Jolin Tsai?)
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.

Bosco, the fire eater legend in Singapore!
It was great to see the fire eater master in Singapore I known in The Strait Times today! He is Bosco! He was the longest local Singaporean fire eater in Singapore, I would say, he is the legend!Bosco, as I always met in the event, his is someone friendly and definitely not an arrogant person; not like some few of the talents who’s I met before saw me like just I am invisible.
Bos, wish your luck getting better and better!
