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.

Jodi Carr - Artist

Jodi Carr works in many mediums. She dresses in a blue Chinese dress, blue and white china-doll wig and crazy white feather headpiece. She calls it "Asian Fusion Fantasy" or "an over-the-top Asian Artist Ensemble". Regardless of what it's called, it will add a spice of class and color to your event.

Marc Richard - Artist

In addition, he also offers other forms of artwork including illustration, logos, portraits, caricatures, etc. He has owned and operated his studio in the Bay Area since 1989.
