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.

Silhouette Cutting in Dinner and Dance
That was always great to meet nice guests whose appreciate my works in the event, their words made my morale getting higher and higher hence I can produce many high standard and nice artworks, I believe all entertainer having the same feeling.Sometimes you can see the ballroom still having busy setting up for the event you are attended to while the time you reach the ballroom, this is because the previous event in that ballroom just finished not long ago; you can see props and stage setting specialists, table setting up staffs, backdrop artists and related specialists fighting with the extremely short deadline to get everything done in time.One interesting prop!

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!
