This swiss couple was once working here in Singapore.They were married & planned to settle down back home.

On-site live caricature drawing event.

Event: Lundbeck (Investigator Meeting Welcome Dinner).
Date of event: 24 Oct 2008 Friday.
Venue: Upper Club, Chijmes, Singapore.
Duration: 4 hours (7.00pm to 11.00pm).
Average drawing speed: 3 minutes per head.

This event required me to caricature about 70 guests, so I proposed a 4-hour session in order to capture everybody. I was at full speed of less than 3 minutes per drawing for the first 2 hours but slowed down at the third 'cos almost all of them had been drawn by then. Apart from a group of vocal performers, I was the only entertainer. The event ended at 10pm although they had engaged me till 11pm. After the session, the client invited me & my girlfriend who assisted me that evening for a delicious Indian buffet meal.

Medium used: Pastel pencil on off-white paper.
Type: Face with cartoon body & background.
Client's purpose: ROM gift.

The couple might have known each other in the Singapore Police Force when they were patrol partners. The client requested me to draw the handcuffs as a humorous way to lock them together. To add more fun on it, I gave them a convertible Toyota car so that their heads could get closer to each other.

Photo taking session at Sentosa Island,Singapore. Part-3.

After spending the whole evening taking pictures that Sunday, I felt a little hungry & tired. My photography kaki, Henry & I decided to head for our dinner elsewhere as the food in Sentosa was a bit pricey. On our way to the carpark, I managed to take a few more shots of the surrounding. We ended up having our meal at a kopitiam in Jurong East together with my girlfriend.
