Silhouette artist Karl Johnson returns to West Seattle to make paper silhouettes of your children this Tuesday, Nov. 13, at Curious Kidstuff, 4740 California Ave SW. 206-937-8788.

"Silhouettes take only 90 seconds and squirmy children are welcome," said Johnson in our feature on him last April. "Most parents think it will take a lot longer, and fear that their kid won't sit still long enough to do it."

Johnson is known in the celebrity playground of Los Angeles as the guy to hire to capture the profiles of high-profile stars with his black paper tiles and oval frames. He appeared last year at the wedding of Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth. He said he did not exactly learn the art from his father, who did what he does. However, his father gave him his scissors at age 10, which he continues to use. His father once did the silhouette of jimmy Durante, nose and all,. He even uses his father's "medical scissors" as his lone tool for snipping which he carefully carries in a pouch on a strap around his neck.

Karl Johnson's schedule this week is as follows:
