Gold Award LULU of South Korea receiving the Gold Award for Top Caricature Artist from Kamal Dollah, President of the Singapore chapter of ISCA

Singapore hosted its first ISCA minicon from the 1st to the 4th of June 2015. This inaugural convention of caricaturists organized by the ISCA Singapore chapter also aimed at exposing caricature art to the general public. Prior to the convention, a Facebook group (www.facebook.com/groups/caricature.sg) was established and we started receiving posts of caricatured Singapore personalities from around the world. We then put up an exhibition open to the public and published a book of this wonderful collection. Public workshops were also conducted to educate the public about caricature art. The convention started off with a live drawing competition in an esteemed public venue — The Esplanade. Public response for the live event was astounding. The winner of the Live/Retail category was voted by a combination of total sales plus votes by the customers and fellow artists. Earnings from this activity helped fund the convention. Forty-five artists from eight countries attended the convention. One advantage of a small group: everyone got to know each other very well over the following days of drawing at a hall that was open 24 hours a day. We are thankful to our speakers Yonie Woo, Terry Dunnett, Marcus Sakoda and Katon Aqhari for sharing their expertise on caricature. We congratulate the winners, especially LULU from South Korea for winning the Top Caricature Artist award. Singapore is a great destination and a food haven. I’m quite sure everyone enjoyed the experience as we got lots of positive feedback about this rare experience.
