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.

Event at Shangri-la Hotel Singapore

Did a dinner and dance event at Shangri-la Hotel yesterday. It was a theme event, so all the guests well dressed in their specific theme.

I like this type of event because usually the guests came in special hair styles, that was very challenging for me. In silhouette art, the more complex of the hair style, the more interesting artwork to be produced!
