About the Artist

Caricature Artist Sydney, Australia

Being my true passion, Art has been an ongoing pastime over the past 45 years.

The road has not been straight and I have acquired a Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering (Uni of Sydney). I went on working full-time in the field of Engineering for the next 20 odd years. My last job was working in Downer Rail P/L (13 years). I am the Electrical Engineer who designed the entire Lighting system in the currently running Waratah Train fleet in Sydney, I was also heavily involved in other critical systems of the train.

I also spent time to develop my skill in the field of Art. Along the way, I went to Julian Ashton Art School for drawing course and did one year of Architecture and six months of Graphic Design certificates.  I also spent 1 year working in Novasoft Technology, doing computer animation, using Adobe 3D Studio Max and Photoshop. My work experience in the field of Art includes working as an "In-betweener" in Walt Disney Cartoon Animations; a political cartoonist in Sydney Local – a local newspaper in Sydney. While working with Sydney Local I drew political cartoons with satirical twists. These cartoons were well received and appreciated by the general public. In particular, it was the facial features of the subjects captured that was well remembered. As a Caricature and Portrait Artist, I have over ten years experience as a pavement artist, having drawn literally thousands of people in various places in Sydney in the past, including Circular Quay and Kings Cross.

I am from Hong Kong by birth, currently residing in Sydney, Australia. Now reaching the stage of life that I can choose what I enjoy doing most, I decided to devote more time in Art. I can be contacted online (email: sp@pong.com.au).

I can also be found by Google search on "Elvis sculpture" or "007 caricature", where my homepage ranking is on top.
