On-site caricature drawing service.

Event: Faber-Castell shop's grand opening ceremony at Ion Orchard.
Date of event: 6 Nov 2009 Friday.
Venue: Ion Orchard, Singapore.
Duration: 3 hours (4.00pm to 8.00pm).
Average drawing speed: 6 minutes per head.
Theme: Arts related.

This event required 3 caricaturists to entertain the public during the grand opening of Faber-Castell's new shop in the newly opened Ion shopping mall in Orchard Road. I only managed to find them one caricatist, William, to draw alongside me. The other caricaturist, Einstien who did the roving part was hired separately by the client.
I heard from my photography buddy, William Cho, who was the official photographer for this event that the owners, Dukes from Germany were there too but I was too busy to notice them. As for the famous Einstien, this was the first time I met him personally although I've seen him on TV many times.

On arrival, the stage was well prepared & ready for the occasion.

It was quite a well organised event with all the guests well behaved.In fact, it was great to catch up with both of them whom I've not been seeing for quite sometime. After the one hour show, we had so much to talk about.
