Sony Road Show at Wisma Atria Orchard.

Event: Sony Road Show.
Date of event: 7 Dec 2012 (Friday).
Venue: Wisma Atria, Orchard Road, Singapore.
Duration: 5.00pm to 7.00pm (2 hours).
Average drawing speed: 8 minutes per head.

Another road show of Sony using Vaio Duo 11 to draw caricatures for members of the public. This gig was arranged in such that I replaced my friend Jit for 2 hours. Jit was supposed to do the entire gig for 7 hours but he got something on in the middle so he got me to help him.
When I took over, I tried to follow what Jit did by putting shading on every caricatures but I was too slow as I was not familiar doing it digitally. After a few pieces, I finally shift back to outline darwing so that more people could be drawn.
 It was another good experience drawing caricature using a tablet which was provided by Sony. For such gig, no tool was needed, just be there on time.

Sony Road Show Mid-point Orchard.

Event: Sony Road Show.
Date of event: 17&24 Nov, 1&8 Dec  2012 (Saturday).
Venue: Courts @ Mid-point, Orchard Road, Singapore.
Duration: 3.00pm to 6.00pm (3 hours per day).
Average drawing speed: 8 minutes per head.

I was engaged to do a Sony Road Show for 4 Saturdays in a row with my caricaturist friend Jit & 2 others. All of us were stationed in 4 different Courts venues at the same time around Singapore. Mine was at Mid-point Orchard. This road shows required us to draw caricature using Sony's new tablet VAIO Duo 11 & printed out using a printer before given away to the public. As I was not familiar with digital drawing, it took me quite awhile  to get use to it. I struggled on the first day but gradually improved along the way. I had manage to put some shading on the drawings during the last day but it took me quite some time to finish one piece. There was a screen behind me that showed the progress of the drawing live, similar to the Samsung Road Show which I did using the the Galaxy Note Studio before that. It was a good experience but I still prefer to draw caricature manually though.

On-site caricature drawing service.

Event: Asia One- Red Carpet Party.
Date of event: 13 Dec 2012 (Thursday).
Venue: St. James Power Station, Singapore.
Duration: 6.30pm to 9.30pm (3 hours).
Average drawing speed: 8 minutes per head.

Due to heavy year-end commitments, my caricaturist friend Jit sought my service to do this gig on his behalf. My job was to draw the guests faces complete with cartoon bodies on the pre-drawn paper with some background & logo provided by the client. The average time taken to draw a person was 8 minutes instead of my usaul 6 minutes simply because I'd to draw a cartoon body for every one.
The atmosphere was electrifying as the music was loud & full of activities. Apart from the stage shows & performances, I was the only fringe artist to entertain the guests for 3 solid hours. One difficulty of this gig was that lighting was insufficient, too deem for me to do a good job as the event suppose to be in a party mood. No mather how, the job had to go on & there was full of laughter & fun throughout the event.

Photography: Reggie's photo featured in Oprah.com.

One of my pictures of Chinatown Singapore was featured in Oprah Winfrey's Online Magazine on 15 Aug 2013. It was one of the ten pictures chosen from photographers around the world for their article entitled 'Vacation & Travel'.
I feel honoured that my photo was chosen for this purpose among so many others. This photo of Smith Street was taken during the evening blue hour in 2010.

On-site caricature drawing service.

Event: Old folks' party.
Date of event: 6 Nov 2012 (Tuesday).
Venue: Lions Home, Bedok, Singapore.
Duration: 2.00pm to 4.00pm (2 hours).
Average drawing speed: 6 minutes per head.

I was engaged to do a birthday event at the old folks home in Bedok. This was the first time I did such an event in Singapore. As these elderly people were not mobile, roaming method was the only option for me to entertain them. My session started with drawing the 3 birthday folks before continuing with others randomly. Some of them didn't even know what was happening when I seated in front of them drawing their faces. Luckily most of them were well behaved & didn't move about. It was a different experience from other gigs all together.
