Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.

Paper Cutting
Just saw this photo from today’s newspaper, did a silhouette for it.The masked navy officer is very hard to see in our usual life, it is quiet unique to me, just a silhouette for it.After totally 5 hours which split into 2 weeks, finally I completer this “Million Dollars” Chinese wording paper cutting in 4pcs stacked of 120gsm gold paper. I don’t think will do this design for event, just for my own art pieces purpose, because it really difficult to use hand cut and real time consuming. Heehee!
