Silhouette Pictures

Silhouette cutting is an extremely rare art form these days but one man still practices this all but lost form of portraiture. You can be among the many happy individuals who have an original silhouette portrait expertly created by Karl Johnson. 

Each Silhouette is cut out entirely freehand. Karl simply looks at the subject's profile (whether in person or from a photograph) and starts cutting their exact likeness out of black paper. Each Silhouette is an original, one of a kind work of art, signed by the artist. Have your silhouette made in person.

Considered America's premier silhouette artist, Karl Johnson has been practicing this extremely rare art form for most of his life.  Karl learned this unique skill as a young boy from his father who had been taught many years earlier by a long time friend of the family.

Karl's work hangs in the homes of many Hollywood notables including Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, Hilary Duff, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Drew Barrymore and many others. He was commissioned by Marc Anthony to create silhouettes of Jennifer Lopez for her 40th Birthday Party. Karl also appeared in person at the party to cut silhouettes for the guests. Most recently Karl created silhouettes for the guests at Reese Witherspoon's wedding to Jim Toth and Drew Barrymore's wedding to Will Kopelman.
