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.

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!

Roving Silhouette Cutting in Wedding Event
Just did an event this afternoon for a pre-event in a wedding lunch. Unlike corporate event, the guests usually come in whole families and relatives of the wedding couples, hence that could be in all ages which like few months old babies to 80 or 90 years old grand relatives.As an entertainer, my job is to create the relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere for the guests, that could be very easy, could be very difficult as well; depends what type of crowd you are having in this event.
As a roving artist, you need to know which guests to start your entertainment, if you are doing you entertainment in stationary style, that will be depend what kind of guests come to you first; your experience will help you how to handle the guests in different circumstances.
There are Rock Band performance in this wedding lunch! Cool!
Nice table setting!

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!
