My caricaturist friend Kamal sought my service to do an event in a team of 3 together with William. It was held in the premises of the Botany Centre in Botanic Garden. All three of us were seated in a row to entertain those guests who present us with a number slit. 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.

A4 size caricature of a couple.
Medium used: Color-pencil on white paper.
Type: Face only.
Client's purpose: Valentine's gift.

This caricature is under the 'Face Only' category. Usually for this type of caricature, I'd draw down to the shoulder level just to complete the picture but it's not considered 'Face with Cartoon Body' which is higher in price.

Photography- Changi Point.

I took some photographs at Changi Point on a Sunday with my Flickr friend,Kenny Teo,a few months ago. We purposely reached there in the late afternoon just to catch the beautiful sunset that would made a big difference in our shots. After taking a few shots at the yatch club, we ventured further down the boardwalk. We were so impressed with what we saw, an interesting zig-zag jetty. There were some uncles fishing at that time & they completely ignored us. People walking up & down the boardwalk appreciating the beautiful view it offers.
After the session, Kenny & I walked back to the starting point where we met & had our dinner at one of the coffee shop opposite the Akua infested carpark. We shared our photographic knowledges & techniques to further improve ourshelves. What an experience...

A4 size portrait of a young lady.
Medium used: Watercolour on white paper.
Client's purpose: Birthday present.

My regular client Dilip loves my watercolour painted portraits so much that he did 5 pieces of himself on the first time he engaged my service.
The subject of this portrait is his daughter who was studying abroad then. I would say he's very demanding in terms of quality. Whenever he comes, I would feel very pressurized to produce what he thinks is good enough to his expectation. Thank god, he is happy with all my works so far & I will continue to give him the best of me as long as I'm still able to draw...

Individual portrait done from photograph.

A3 size portrait of a high ranking military officer.
Medium used: Charcoal on white paper.
Client's purpose: A gift from Mindef.

The client wanted this portrait of the subject in civilian outfit instead of wearing his uniform. I was not sure of the actual purpose of them doing it. I just did what I was instructed, no question asked. All I knew was the subject was a VIP (3 crabs) in Mindef. To-date, I've done many VIP portraits & caricatures & continue to do so whenever my service is needed. Most importantly, the price must be agreeable ;)

Photography- Miss Singapore World Finalists 2009.

I was being told by my new photography friend Ace 2 Saturdays ago that this event was held in East Point, Simei on the next day, Sun. It was a preview or something. The show started at 5pm & when I reached there 15min earlier, the stage was already surrounded by photographers with their powerful cameras & lenses. I used my 100mm Telemacro f2.8 lens to shoot the whole show without flash. Here are some of the finalists whom I took with my DSLR Sony Alpha 700.
