This couple requested that their caricature got to be a memorable one that depicted their idols.

What a husband & wife team...

Another rare last minute Saturday afternoon event held at the multi-purpose hall 'Water Terrace' next to the pool. Although this was a kids party, it was attended by their parents too. A family party to be exact. Most of the people being drawn were the parents themshelves, to my surprise. As there was enough time, I spend my own sweet time enjoying the session.

Photography- Fashion Show.

As my photography skill progresses further, I made quite a few friends from Yahoo's Flickr who invited me to join them for a shooting of a fahion show at Marina Square recently. The event was called 'Fashion Revolution'. This was a new experience for me as I've not tried this before. However, I used my instinct of a portrait artist & managed to snap some for the fun of it. Surprisingly, some of my Flickr friends said that my shots were outstanding. Perhaps my profession as an artist helps alot in getting the right angle & the right timing of clicking the button of my camera. What I've realised from this experience is that, for this type of photography, you only got 3 seconds or less to decide on your shots. Opportunity will be lost if too much time being spent on it.
Well,it was quite fun to have a feel of a fashion photographer who takes pictures of beautiful models :))

A4 size wedding caricature.
Medium used: Color-pencil on white paper.
Type: Face with cartoon body & background.
Client's purpose: Wedding gift.

The client did this caricature as a gift to her friend's wedding. She chose a romantic theme, thus a sunset background with a lone coconut tree as her friend got married somewhere in this region. She also requested the costume to be drawn as per the photos submitted to me.
The difficulty of this caricature was that the guy's face on the photo had heavy shadow on it. So I've to figure out what I couldn't see under the shadow. Luckily, the client was happy with it.

Duration: 1 hour (12.30pm to 1.30pm).
Average drawing speed: 6 minutes per head.

A rare Sunday event at the poolside level of Conrad Hotel was just like an outing to me as my shop is closed on Sunday. At this event, I saw 2 familiar faces who worked alongside me. The 1st person was my caricaturist friend Wilson who was hired separately by the event organiser & the 2nd was the stage entertainer cum clown Jonathan Heron whom I knew some years back. I had not been seeing Wilson for sometime & we had a good chat after our sessions ended. It was quite an enjoyable session with lots of kids with their parents. After the event, I went with Henry for our regular photo taking session around town.
