Chinese Rainbow Calligraphy

Just met rainbow calligrapher Mr Lim Mao Zhong recently in an event, I think he is one of the longest Chinese Rainbow Calligrapher I met so far. I met him in his stall at Clark Quay many years ago before the renovation of Clark Quay. Other than doing rainbow calligraphy, he also read the fortune of your name while he doing the rainbow calligraphy during event.Hmm..I don’t think he got a website, but you can call him direct at his mobile: 9067 8295

Just the Food I Ate Recently

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
