Did roving silhouette cutting at the field at Marina Bay last month, for one of the NTUC event under event company's engagement.
It was one of the biggest event I do up to now ;p
I always try my best to do the cutting within 1 cut, so both pieces of artwork can be given to the guests ;p
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 for a Private Party
Did silhouette cut for a private party
weeks ago. For this event, client had asked me if they can have a copy of the
artwork as well besides giving to their guests, so I suggest stack 2 pieces
paper and do the cutting, one pieces jeep by the guest and the other piece let
the guests put their name and paste on the board that provide by client.
Thought the outcome is interesting ;p
However, due to 2 pieces paper stack
together for the cutting, I need to put more strength to cut the artwork out. Anyway, it was a fun experience.

My Silhouette Cutting
Just did an event for product launch last week and great I got a chance to do for Chanel's event again ;p
In my experiences, a product launch event, the size of the guests could be from 20 guests and it could be up to hundreds of guests.
As an entertainer, you have to apply your skill to entertain the guests well and as a professional silhouette artist, I will try my best to entertain as many guests as possible within the booking hours.
Within an hour, I am able to produce about 40 silhouette cuttings and if some one could help me to paste/ put my artwork on the card /plastic bag, my speed could up to 70 cutting per hour.
Due to the portrait silhouette is mainly emphasize on the outline of the side view or the portrait, you need not need to do any detail on the eyes, the ears, the ear ring, the eyes etc, meanwhile you should be able to produce an artwork within a 1 minutes unless the hairstyle of the guest is really complex that will be different story, but it would not required more than 5 minutes to complete the artwork.
I believe most professional silhouette cutting sure be able to complete a straight hair silhouette cutting within a minute.
I able to do 2 in 1 silhouette cutting but only limited to selective events, because such cutting required more than a minute. You really required a real skill to produce a two in one silhouette artwork, it was testing of how good of your visual skill that able to apply the right scale and ratio of both side profile in a piece of paper.
