2007 - S John Ross  

With the help of Jim Sharman (senior), S. John Ross started touring the Australian show circuit in 1948, cutting out silhouette portraits for showgoers all around Australia. Over a 60 year period he became a legend at various shows. Affectionately known on the show circuit as the Silhouette Man, he forged his name and career with nothing more than a pair of surgical scissors, a piece of black paper and an irrepressible spirit. In 2007 he was named RES Show Legend.
