Chinese Rainbow Calligraphers in Singapore

Since Singapore became a First World Country, thought our event company should be provide first world's quality event artists to entertain your guests in your event.

Due to we are having large amount of new immigrant an foreign talents who joint in the event and entertainment line, we should avoid any "Fake Talents" to prevent any embarrassing. I mean many events that having in Singapore, was having many foreigner guests, due to globalization, our foreigner guests might seen many artists in many different countries, hence if the event companies arranged cheap and/or fake artists, Foreigner guests will know it.

I am here to recommend 2 Chinese calligraphers which provided quality and real professional Chinese Calligraphy that can be trusted:

1. Yips Rainbow Calligraphy.
See: http://yipsrainbow.blogspot.com/
Yips Rainbow was new immigrant from Hong Kong and they was doing Chinese Calligraphy as family business. So many artist from China in Chinatown or China event artists was copying their writing styles. (but seems all artists from China who do events or in Chinatown failed to copy them, this is because Yip's Rainbow Calligraphy had created their original writing style through few generation already)
2. Lim's Rainbow Calligraphy
See: http://talentsdata.8m.com/limcalligraphy.htm Mr Lim who came from China had stayed in Singapore for many years. I think his work is great as well. He had been fully understood Singapore's culture as well, hence he work professionally.
Other than these 2 artists, I didn't see any quality Rainbow Calligrapher in the market so far. There do not have any Singaporean Rainbow calligrapher yet so far, I am very sure for this.

Therefore, the rest of the of the Rainbow Calligraphers all from China. Most of these China Rainbow Calligraphers was not up to quality standards, and high chances they will try collect money from the event guests even though they had been told not allow to collect money from the guests during their event booking hours.

Professional Rainbow Calligrapher that you wanted to hire for your event for no problem at all or just hire cheap and unfaithful Rainbow Calligraphers from China for your event that caused many problems and many embarrassing that spoil Singapore's reputation, that was up to your choice.

I just tell the truth and not to insult and offense any parties or races, I having many China professions friends including dancers from SDT, artists, some of my China teachers whose thought my many great things and etc.

So far, I only came across the real master Rainbow Calligraphers from China was during Chinese New Year's period, which arranged by the established shopping centers and in the yearly "River Angbao" events.

Your eyes will tell you how great these real Chinese professionals are, and showed what is real great artists from China, instead of current fake Rainbow Calligraphers whose surrounding in the event market and Chinatown in Singapore.

Are There Such A big Volume of Event Jobs?

Although Singapore became a First World country, although there were 2 big IR and casinos opened,technically there are more events happening in our country, do you think there are really huge volume of job and demands for event artists and entertainers?
It really depends.
If you are full time or part-time commercial dances, due to the highly occupied of the pubs/bars, you might be highly demand by the related firm. If you are an Mcee, and if you had been in the event industry for certain years, due to the job volumes increased and your income definitely increased as well.

Talking about fringe art event artists like henna artist, caricaturists, airbrush tattoo artist and etc, it depends on the relevant periods. As per my experiences since 1990 till now i which work as caricaturist, silhouette cutting and fortune telling, I am very sure that our job can't earned many million dollars per annual.

I believe whoever extreme progressive and enthusiastic new comers will realized this as well, it might help on a little bit of publicity your works, but it can't made you became a famous person or celebrities.

Due to globalization and the current amounts or new immigrants talents being here, it became much more competitive thus the pieces of cake you are getting was became smaller and smaller.

Another question: Are you being booked everyday for event jobs? Are you sure Singapore sure having events everyday that really need entertainers or event artists?

Event Artists need to Provide Quality and Resonable Quantites Works

Singapore had been growing real fast within this few years, and Singapore became a worldwide well known country since it had run the first F1 night race, building up the great entertainment area like Marina Bay Sand and Resort World Sentosa and held the first Youth Olympic Games in the world.

As professional event artists or entertainers, we should always enhance, improve and maintain our skill to the much more than the above average level.

Doing events like caricature, balloon twisting, face painting and etc, although we work independently, doesn't mean we can do our work anyhow, there are always people watching your quality or/and quantities of your works.

Singapore is not a big country, hence, if any event artists make serious mistake, all of us will know it through event organizers or event clients.
