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.

Full figure silhouette cutting for event?

Nope, that was not easy to produce a full figure silhouette during the event, because silhouette cutting is almost similar to portrait drawing, need to produce a realistic artwork, means need time to do it, but during pre-event activities, we are booked in hourly basis, we must produce as many pieces of artwork as possible within an hour. So for the time being, I only produce the portrait silhouette in the event.

Silhouette Cutting at Bottle Tree Restaurant

Glad to meet calligrapher Madam Tang at Tanglin Corp’s event at Bottle Tree Restaurant. Bottle Tree Restaurant was a very nice place! It was happily working for the friendly guests at this nice place.

The guests like Madam Tang's calligraphy.

Met Mr Lee Kim Guan another famous calligrapher at Ang Mo Kio Central. The first time I met him was about at least 6 years ago in an event. I like his strong stroke and very creative styles calligraphy.
