(This post is in partnership with Cut Arts.)
I have a distinct memory of a 5th grade “homeroom mom” tracing my silhouette at school one day. Later, my silhouette joined those of my fellow elementary school graduates on the auditorium wall, each with a unique adjective underneath meant to describe our personalities. Mine said, “Sincere,” which was a new word for me. I loved that silhouette; I quite literally saw myself from a new angle and understood in a new way how other people perceived me. From then on, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for silhouette art, and no one does it better than renowned silhouette artist Karl Johnson (Seriously, this guy’s amazing).
He’ll be in the Bay Area August 14 – 16, and we are giving away a gift card to use at an upcoming event or online for your own custom silhouette! Head over to our Facebook page to enter the giveaway.
If you plan to visit Karl in person, sign up in advance to guarantee your appointment (they’re going fast!). He creates the silhouettes in minutes so even your little ones have a chance to get one done. Here are his upcoming events:
