Theme is Hero Night, Thus, I was told to draw some Super Hero bodies for the caricatures, if the guests requested. Obviously, the number of caricatures churned out in an hour will be reduced, given more time needed to spend on each caricature.
I was stopped by the security at the entrance to the Island Ballroom.
Told them I was the caricaturist for this event.
He went in to ask who knows me.
The event organiser should be the one sweating, as he didn't see me 15 mins before the events start. He came out to bring me in, saying that the VIP - Miss Ho Ching (Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's wife), CEO of Temasek Holdings will be reaching soon. That explained the unusual tight security of a company Dinner & Dance.
Anyway, I won't expect her to be sketched by me, as VIP usually will go straight into the ballroom upon arrival.
Gave him a Batman body, since he was wearing a Batman T-shirt inside.
He said a Batman body too, since he had no idea.
Proposed a Superman for him, and he accepted.
He knew what he wanted - A spear for him.
Not much time left. Got to speed up without any Superhero theme.
Went into the ballroom - waiting for my payment, as the organiser said can only pay me after the opening ceremony. Waited 55 minutes for the cheque for an hour event. ......
Anyway, you can tell that this was a no low budget event. The costumes of the Superheroes (around 200-300 of them) could cost a bomb, even though they were rented.
