Gordon Ng - Artist As a freelance illustrator with a degree in architecture from U.C.B., Gordon started performing as a caricaturist
at parties and events in 1990. This intensely-interactive business of capturing someone's look and essence quickly on paper jolted his
nerves, ignited his imagination, and captured his heart. As an entertainer, Gordon's hands and mind are always racing with time. Years of
countless speed-drawing workouts pushed him to new speeds, refined his communication skills, and taught him new, liberating drawing
techniques. Knowing that most people want their caricature/portrait to be complimentary, he aims to compliment and delight, not to
ridicule. He uses various "recipes" of humor, discrete exaggeration, and colorful elements designed for different client groups. To
engage a certain audience, his ability to speak and write Chinese comes in handy, since part of his jart is to mingle and generate
audience participation. |
