Play Quidditch with the Nimbus 2000 like Harry Potter

This is a gift for a retiring colleague who is a big fan of Harry Potter. We drew him playing Quidditch with the coveted Nimbus 2000 broom stick.

Cool Rider Caricature for Birthday Gift

A lady wanted this guy from a very small photo to look cool on a bike. With the recent increases in Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries on Singapore roads, I sneaked in a small ‘beep’ on the ERP reader.

Event caricaturist as ‘Live Entertainment’ at Dinner and Dance

We occasionally do ‘live’ drawing engagements at pre-dinner cocktails to entertain the guests before dinner commences. Caricature drawing is always fun, engaging and entertaining for a crowd. We draw fast and slightly exaggerated, we vary the level of exaggeration based on how much the audience and sitter appreciates the art of caricature. These photos below were from a recent job Kamal did for scientists and researchers of IBN celebrating their 5th Anniversary at the Asian Civilization Museum.

Takashimaya Shopping Centre Caricature Drawing Workshop

Good Guitarist from Republic Polytechnic

This caricature was for a talented young dude who is leaving his job at Republic Polytechnic. He is described by his colleagues who ordered this gift as good at playing the guitar and a cheerful person. This drawing coloured with marker was done by our new artist Mr. Luthfi Mustafa. He is already an accomplished artist but this is his first caricature assignment.

Twins Caricature

A customer asked to do a caricature for each of a pair of twin sisters. He mentioned that although they are twins but he don’t want them to look ‘too alike’. So, here they are, one sporty and the other more feminine.

Singapore Arts Street 2008 @ Clarke Quay

We had a table at an art fair over the week-end at Clarke Quay. Rather slow traffic, so we did some talent scouting when there are no customers. Six-year-old Nur Atika, daughter of my artist friend Mr. Osman Asari showed great potential.
