HERO Drawing Show

Went to Downtown East to catch the Korean Drawing show "HERO" with Teddy Chua in the evening. We went to a Thai restaurant for dinner and had some time to walk around before the show began at 8pm. It's been quite some time since I felt so relaxed. Prior to the show, we indulged in a Magnum ice-cream each and I felt that it was too sweet. Should have stuck to my decision to try Fruitare's new grape flavour popsicle.

I bought the show tickets as part of Teddy Chua's birthday gift and deliberately chose seats very near to the stage as I understand that for such performance, you won't enjoy it as much by looking at the big screens.

Once the show began, we were kept entertained by 4 very talented Korean performers. They could dance, do speed drawing and engage the audience with their humour. I was very impressed with their 80 minutes (no intermission) performance and felt that it was well-worth the $$$. The show began with a solo speed drawing of Guevara, followed by an action painting of a jigsaw piece of Michael Jackson by the 4 performers, a solo dust drawing of Bruce Lee, a solo speed drawing of a scenery piece with a Tiger, group performance of a rubik cube art piece of Superman, a pair performing light drawing of cupid with a couple, a group marbling drawing of underwater scene with marine creatures and mermaid, culminating with a marvelous 3 performers using speed drawing for the main characters in "The Three Kingdoms".

There was a photo session at the end but we decided to just catch a few snapshots of the art pieces as there were a huge crowd lining up to take photos. A sample of their talents:
