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.

Movie Character Silhouette
Watched Black Panther Movie, and found that the hat of the queen mother Ramonda in the movie was very special, so I decided to search the net and found a side view photo of her.
I thought was an easy job but end up have to spend some times and then finally get the closes artwork that I want. Haahaa!

Event at Safra Toa Payoh
Did silhouette cutting fora private event to night. Managed to do couple silhouette cutting during the starting timing when not much guests queuing at my booth.
To produce a 2 in one couple cutting, the scoring and the ration of the portrait must very accurate, otherwise will became an ugly artwork.

The more complex of the hair style will be produce a much more visual-able artwork.

Silhouette Cutting at Tampines HUB
Did silhouette cutting at Tampines HUB for Tampines GRC Women's Day Event for this morning.
I started doing event since 1990, I met him about 2002 in Singapore's National Stadium's flea market, I encouraged him to pick up Silhouette cutting for event's activities, that was before Singapore's SAR's period.
We no longer work together due to we are busy doing our own business few years later, we just work individually, and whenever any event company ask for one more Silhouette Artist, I always pass his contact to them. I would say, up to do day 11 Mar 2018, nobody better then him because most of the new silhouette artists had not practice properly and take event job nowadays.
Great to met my Ex- Silhouette cutting partner William Lee in the event.

I would say, William Lee did his Silhouette cutting from heart, he really put in effort for each of his work, not like nowadays new comer thinking doing silhouette cutting just to earn quick money and thought anyhow do it in cheating way and nobody can tell the different. We produce quality and quantities of artworks, not those new comer that only produce 6-10 cutting for an hour's booking!!!
