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.

Off Angle's Silhouette
Sometimes some guest will not really wanted to pose right degree of side view for you, they just wanted to take a side peek of how you do the cutting, this could be a difficult job for us, usually I will either ask them to pose correct or I move myself to the right angle to complete the silhouette cutting.If the guest having a few degree facing me instead of showing me their right side view, I will cut the shape of the glasses to highlight the likeness of the guests, anyway, provided those who worn glasses, because without the detail in the artwork that was hardly tell the likeness anymore.

Event in Asian Civilisation Museum
That was great that I had a chance involved in this very high class private event today. I met Mr Yong, one of Singapore’s famous Chinese Calligrapher. Tonight Mr Yong Cheong Thye (www.yonggallery.com) was in-charge Chinese Calligrapher writing on Chinese Fans; if I am not wrong, Mr Yong and one of the Hong Kong Chinese Calligrapher Mr Yip are the only artists who able to provide Chinese Fans in the events market, if you see some artists doing Chinese Calligraphy on Chinese Fans, which means high chances the Chinese Fans was provided by the event companies. That was surprise to see Raju the Kacang Putin Man and The Tarik Man doing Parrot Fortune Telling in the event!Just self photo taking.The function room was serious decorated carefully!Many unique and nice props!
