Golfers joke: A birdie for birthday gift

This caricature was commissioned as a gift for a 21 year old golfer. His dear friends wanted to surprise him with a humorous gift and they explainded to me how the term ‘birdie‘ in golfing was derived. I did some research and got a clearer picture of the term for this gag. I hope my humour is not too cruel by having the bird hit with a golf ball in between the legs. Oouuch!

Graffiti workshop for school principals

The North Zone Arts Cafe for Principals 2008 was held at St. James Power Station, a hip night entertainment venue. It is an assembly of all school pricipals and superintendents from the northern sector of Singapore. There were numerous activities and including a graffiti workshop by yours truly.

I gave the participants a briefing on what is graffiti, traced its origin, up to current trends and showed the positive side within the context of art education that can benefit their students. The debate between art and crime was of special interest to these experts. I was initially concerned that I may be faced with a sceptical audience. Turned out they are keen to understand current trends and the likings of young people. It was an enjoyable and educational hands-on session though they did not have time to produce a great piece.

Caricature for back-to-school party concept

A team of insurance agents from Prudential comissioned this set of 21 caricatures for their upcoming dinner and dance with a back-to-school concept. I reminisced about my schooling days while doing this and thus managed to come out with 21 different poses to elaborate on the given theme. Too bad is was not done in colour.

I reminisced the days when I had hair and always playing truant.

Caricature of rider on BMW R1550 motorcycle

This is a farewell gift for a boss who rides a BMW bike. I hope I got the technicalities of the BMW R1550 right as I did not see the real thing and only worked from several photo references. Besides the usual challenge in caricature for achieving likeness of the face, this is also a caricature of an inanimate object. Through simplifying and exaggerating certain features of a motorcycle I was able to achieve an impression of the specific model. I bet he’d be riding away smiling, into the sunset with this gift in his leather jacket.

Valentine day gift for loving couple

Beginning to get orders to draw caricatures for Valentine day. It is good to plan ahead if you already have a ‘Steady’, so that the rest of your energy can be focused at being super extra romantic on the special day.

This couple specifically requested for an Audi R8 car and a host of other items around their caricatures.
