Spectacular Silhouettes!

WOW! What an amazing experience to watch Karl Johnson's artistry! His hand cut silhouettes were unbelievably fantastic.  It's truly a gift to have the eyes to see an individuals profile and cut hundreds of silhouettes. 

Karl and his wife Lauren contacted us in hopes to come to Duck Duck Goose to cut silhouettes for our customers. We were thrilled with the idea and jumped on board to host them on their visit to Portland. Neither had been to the Portland area and were suggested from people in Seattle area to make the trip. 

Karl lives in the Los Angeles area and has cut silhouettes for a number of celebrities! I loved listening to his stories about cutting silhouettes for Tom Cruise's birthday and Katie Holmes assisting him during the day, or Reese Witherspoon's wedding just months ago, or Colin Hank's wedding and meeting Bruce Springsteen!!!! 

It was simply an amazing experience! I hope to meet Karl again during his next trip to Portland. 

Below are a few pictures took during the event at Duck Duck Goose! If you were unable to attend but would like a silhouette done, you can visit his website at Cut Arts. You can email him a side profile image and he can send you the finished product! 




Amazed by the finished silhouette of Brinley!

Cavan was a little concerned at first. But loved his finished silhouette!

Thank you again Karl for sharing your talent with our customers. These are truly one of a kind!
