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.
Quick portrait drawing was required to sketch the likeness of the guest being drawn as close as possible, but it will take longer time. Not like caricature drawing, you can't exaggerate the drawing.
Had dinner which treated by Ivan & Lee Lee after our show ;p
While I go to the front stage, I realised it is a round big stage screen! It was really new to me because I never ever seen such screen in Singapore before, thought nobody using it in and event at Singapore so far!
Look! The round screen is hugh!

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.

There are not much portrait artist doing live drawing for event because portrat drawing need a strong fine art base and live drawing for event really need to be done in a limited time frame.

Caricature on Key chain, is one of the interesting item for event fringe art activities. We draw the caricature of the guests on a special shrink art plastic, and then the helper will put it in the toast oven, 
within few minutes, this plastic will shrink in a thick and hard form, and then bind with a key chain, became a cute and interesting personal souvenir.

Thought their are popular in doing events is due to their creativity and they having right attitude, never show any long faces during events; one of the most important thing was they always charge in the reasonable professional fees instead of increase or double up the charging anyhow; as professional event entertainers, we all follow the rules.
