Hyde Drawing

I am a graphic designer by day and an artist on weekends. Here’s a few unsorted facts about me. I lived for six years in Vietnam and that’s where I started creating consistently. One small town there completely stole my heart and the series “Hoi An” is dedicated to it. The notebooks with these artworks are still selling in a store in Hanoi. My day job and primary profession is graphic design, and I think it shows in my works. I feel the need to deliver the message with the minimal means — limited color palette, limited details. All the works presented on this page are created digitally as it gives me the necessary freedom of making mistakes and changing my mind. It also allows me to create on the go and capture what I see instantly. It’s important for me to have a plot in an artwork even if I’m the only one who knows about it. I enjoy creating a feeling of tension, as if something is about to happen but you’re not sure what exactly. The moment of stillness, one second before — something.
