As a professional Silhouette Cutting, I would say, in an hour's booking we can be produce average about 40 pieces of silhouettes which as large as our palm size.
Basically, a standard palm size portrait silhouette can produce within a minutes, meanwhile, exclude the time taken for us to put the artwork in plastic bag and the time spend in guiding the guest to pose correctly.
I don's see any reason for a silhouette artist require more than a minutes to produce a standard palm size non complex shape portrait silhouette.
Those who produce less than 30 pieces silhouette in an hour's event booking, they either apprentice or they are taking it for granted to do it slowly to kill the booking time and try to earn easy money.
Singapore is a branded world class great country, hence, as a professional, we should always maintain our high standard for our artwork, both quality and quantity.
How long do you need to produce a cutting in this shape, which in a mobile phone size?
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.

The Quality and Quantity of the Silhouette Cutting for Event's Booking
As a professional Portrait Silhouette Artist, a silhouette to be produce is usually done within a minute in a A6 paper (a quarter size of A4, or it look similar to our palm size), plus the time we put the artworks to the standard plastic bag with the background, it will be average 40 pieces artwork can be produced within an hour's booking.
Any artist who only produce 7 pieces silhouette cutting or much lesser than at least 30 pieces cutting within an hour's event booking in a big crowd's event, that mean they are fake artist or either purposely do it super slow to kill the booking time.This quantity standard, not set by me, is the feedback from many guests and clients that having such demand.
Due to people traveled to many countries easily nowadays, there are more and more people know how to judge our artworks.

Event at Marina Bay Sand Ballroom
This is my very first time doing my silhouette cutting in this newest building - Marina Bay Sand.According one of the staff claimed they are having the biggest ballroom/convention hall in South East Asia! That means if they openned all the partition of the convention hall, the space was allowed 8000 guests step in the related event! Whoa!As a roving artist, our job is to entertain the guests; so we must know when the guests was arriving that "filled up" the space of the ballroom, hence we have to choose the right time and the right crowd to start our roving job.Andy was doing balloon twisting in the event.
