Silhouette Artist

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.

Did Silhouette cutting at Ritz Carlton Hotel Singapore. The great thing was I was able to do my silhouette cutting in a freedom way, which doing in a roving style.

As an roving artist, you must work hard and work properly, you not allow to do anything wrong or try to work slowly or try to hide yourself during your working hour because client and the organizer always watching you to ensure quality and quantity.
