When I started working at Tokyo Disney Resort, I knew getting my drawings down to 5mins per person, was gonna be hard enough,…
But, cutting a silhouette of a man in 3 minutes! No way!
The sketch took me about that long.
That’s when my boss told me, “we don’t sketch”.
You mean, I have to learn how to cut a silhouette of someone in 3mins, and from start to finish with scissors, no sketch!?
That was crazy! Impossible! That was then.
That was nearly 4 years ago, and since then I’ve cut more than 20,000 silhouettes of people. Similar to this.
I’ve also drawn more than 20,000 caricatures (or cartoony portrait).

And here’s some history on silhouette art. Silhouette history
