Portrait of Mr Lim Boon Heng.

A2 size portrait of Minister Lim Boon Heng done from photograph.
Medium used: Charcoal on white paper.
Client's purpose: Farewell gift.

A gift from Mr Lim's colleagues for his departure as the boss of NTUC. Apart from the drawing, they ordered a custom-made picture frame to go with it. As a gift to a VIP, the resemblance level needed to be very high, so I was very careful when capturing the features of Mr Lim.
Again, it was a success & I was very delighted to see in the newspaper a few days after the collection that my portrait was among other gifts presented to him on the day of his deaparture.

The atrium was quite empty when I reached there.

The American Filipino client did this caricature as a gift for his daughter. He is a marine & was in Singapore during a stopover. This was the second time he did a caricature from me to be brought back to the US. The first piece was a family caricature of himself manning the warship with his wife & daughter. Looking forward to his third piece...

A2 size caricature of uncle playing soccer (done from photo).
Medium used: Color-marker on white paper.
Type: Face with cartoon body & background.
Client's purpose: Birthday gift.

The subject is not an ordinary uncle trying to play soccer. In fact, he is the boss of one of Singapore's S-league football teams, Tampines Rovers. Apart from that, he is also the boss of Komoko Motors that distributes Hyundai cars in Singapore. Quite a well known person who appears in the local paper frequently.
His employees came & did this in a urgent manner so that it could be framed up & presented to him during the party. So, he's the boss, not the player...

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


The lady client wanted a caricature to be presented to Mr Lim during his farewell party as NTUC boss. She was so particular with the resemblance & worried that it might not turn out well simply because Mr Lim is a VIP. When she came to collect it, she was so relieved that I got it spot on. I was happy to see yet another client who walked out of my shop smiling, at least.

The client did this portrait to keep as she thinks that a painted portrait can last longer. I would say it's true if she frames it up properly...

Venue: Plaza Singapura, Singapore.
Duration: 1 hour per day (3.00pm to 4.00pm).
Average drawing speed: 5 minutes per head.
Theme: Kung Fu.

I was hired by HBO to do a roadshow for their promotion of the Kung Fu Panda movie on TV. The service lasted one week & I had to do a session per day except the 3rd day which I had to do 2 sessions at different time. Most of the guests were kids but some adults were being drawn too. They required me to produce 2 pre-drawn cartoon bodies for the kids' choice, a board kicking & a karate design were printed on their paper. My job was to draw the person's head on the chosen body during the session.
Four days after the roadshow, they hired me again for a 3-hour session to draw their staff during the family day at the HBO's New Tech Park headquater at Lorong Chuan using the same pre-drawn paper. It was a successful event & the kids really enjoyed it.

Venue: Ion Orchard, Singapore.

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.
