The iconic “Broken Rice” of Saigon

This is a project that I came up with when I had to stay at home for weeks because of the Covid-19 epidemic, and I or we (especially Saigonese), all remember and love to have breakfast with Broken rice dishes (“Cơm Tấm" in Vietnamese). We all love broken rice dishes as much as the famous "Banh Mi".

I return to drawing on paper after a long period of time, then coloring and finalizing on the computer. As a result, each individual in my pictures represents a collection of memories as I practice observing the surrounding changes. Hopefully, everyone will feel close to each other and remember their own memories. For myself, I love this drawing and can't wait to eat this favorite dish.

I was commissioned by Biti’s Hunter, known as one of the leading footwear enterprises in Vietnam, to create a billboard image and a set of illustrations celebrating their launch event of Bitis Hunter's new product in February 2020.

Mình tình cờ đọc qua bài này ở trang The Guardian – viết về tình trạng bạo lực trong gia đình mà đặc biệt là phụ nữ, những người luôn chịu phần thiệt về mình. May mắn lớn lên trong môi trường tương đối an toàn, nhưng những vấn đề này vẫn xảy ra hằng ngày và mình vẫn hay chứng kiến. Vì thế mình muốn vẽ nên một bức hình nhỏ. _ I decided to grab an article and do a sample illustration for it.

As a longtime fan of The New York Times, I’ve decided to create the series of editorial illustrations and pitch them for some freelance work.

Article “Yes, Run for Office”

Concept: The competition for higher position in office is always fierce. In the picture, each window represents a different level of success. A confidence man is walking up toward a position that he deserves.

Article “Running Dry in Cape Town”

Concept: The image of the entire Cape Town city is reflected in a small puddle. The puddle gets smaller and smaller as the water drains. The gradual disappearance of reflection of the city in a puddle is a metaphorical symbolism of the city’s current state.

Article “America’s Real Digital Divide”

Concept: Image of a child watching TV alone signifies the lack of attention from parents to their children. The child is obsessed with what is shown on the TV. Nowadays, children are addicted to cartoons and other TV shows.

Inking is a process, often times long. I really enjoy the feeling of the brush touching the paper and I like it that way.
