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!

Swordsman. 刀客
When I tidy up my house, my drawers and begs, I realised I am having so many scissors! Haahaa! Just put them together and took a photo.This is my ‘Final Fantasy Secret Weapon’!!!!! Don’t play play! Heehee!Hmm…..I must tell you the current feeling of me like the swords men in Chinese martial art movie talking about:
作为一名刀客,绝对刀不离身!
身为刀客,一定要了解刀的意义!
刀狂人更狂,刀冷人不冷!
In English:
As a swords men, never left your sword else where!
As a swords man, you should know why you carry it!
You’re as mad as your sword or even much more than that!
Your sword is cold, but your heart is warm and full of passion!

The Alliance World Resort Dinner
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.Snake Chamer Yussof was in the event!
