My name is Hanh Nguyen and I began drawing after having a vivid dream about a girl being held prisoner by an ancient tree. She ended up becoming my first OC and inspired me to keep drawing since. My artistic goal is to experiment and keep trying to put the images in my head to paper. My absolute favorite thing is hearing viewer feedback.
My drawing style can be summed up as semi-realistic fantasy, but really I just like to dabble in everything.
"Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless." ~Oscar Wilde
...however, I don't have internet at home right now. I can only check dA sparingly when I happen to have my laptop with me somewhere with free wifi. I'll try to check in periodically but it's going to be few and far between. I feel like I'm living like a peasant right now.
I just wanted to share with you all a vlog by Thubakabra (https://www.deviantart.com/thubakabra) about gripes that many of us users have regarding the direction dA has been moving lately. I've hardly been visiting the site myself partially because of life but partially because there's nothing here motivating me to come back. So give it a watch. The video is only a few minutes long, and if you agree with the points she brings up, either share it with your watchers or comment below about what you think is wrong.
UPDATE: The show is back on! Now happening Wednesday, October 19, 2016. Same time, same place. For more information, please visit OMA's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/516472821877203/
UPDATE: Due to Hurricane Matthew, this show has been cancelled and will be rescheduled soon. More information to follow.
I'm not dead yet. In fact, I've got an art show opening this Thursday at the Orlando Museum of Art. If anyone is in Central Florida that day, please stop by and see me! I'll be spending the day in Orlando so you may run into me even before the show. My adventures will be posted through Instagram's story feature @sockstealingn

Haha, I know the feel. I had the chance to work out some technical issues with the software anyway; it got kinda sketchy after I moved computers and that took longer than expected. Wanna reschedule for another day?
