Dis Silhouette cutting at Tampines Hub today, my second time doing event at this venue ;p
Some of my work.
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 at Intercontinental Bugis Singapore
Did Silhouette Cutting recently at Hotel Intercontinental Bugis Singapore for Chinese New Year related event. Due to the theme of Chinese New Year, I will use red paper for the cutting.
As usual, the size of the paper I use was trimmed to A6 size, which is 105mm x 148mm, it was about out palm size or the size was close to 4R paper.
I use this size for the cutting because it was handy and many guest can put my artwork in their pocket as well.
That was great to met one of Singapore's famous calligrapher My Yong in the event again.
Thought he use red fan for the calligraphy as well. As I met many calligraphers so far, not much calligrapher carry Chinese fan, this is because that the fan ordered from China, really need to do it many months ago, and those fan order from China, might not be able to keep long unless the calligrapher really know how to keep the fans.
The fan made by bamboo or shot of wood, you need to put in the proper place because it could easily have bugs on the fans ;p

Silhouette with Glasses
Some of my silhouette cutting with glasses.
Silhouette cutting for the guess in glasses may need slightly time to cut out, but basically not take up much time unless the glasses worn by the guess was really very complex. The time to produce silhouette cutting for me, still within 30 second - 1 minute ;p
The more complex of the frame of the glasses, the more interested for me to do the cutting; anyway, not all nice designed or complex designed glass frame able to cut out by that detail, in such case, I will do a simple line cutting.
