TIMID MAGAZINE: BE BRAVE, BE LOUD, BE UNAPOLOGETIC

Hoang and Anh Nguyen grew up with a father who they dubbed, "The Goodwill Raider” – a man who consistently collected thrift store junk and spun it into gold. Their father learned this necessary skill in order to survive in the United States after leaving everything behind in Communist Vietnam.

"Back then there was no technology, families were separated, and people were displaced with no contact all over the world," Anh recalls.

As refugees, the family’s only shot at a new life was sailing away to the open seas on a banana boat – with the slim chance of being picked up by a trade freighter. The Nguyens sailed on that banana boat with no end in sight for almost a week. What was originally a fishing boat had been modified to accommodate 100 people brimming with hope.

Taste of Hype

Did you see Supremes 2020 lookbook? Yes, we did. Did you see the Oreos in there? Yup, we thought, how fun would it be to learn how to bake Oreos. So we got to work. Who would have known within a week of it’s announcement those cookies would hit 91k on Ebay. The internet never ceases to amaze us.

Totem Feature

Totem features creators and their story all over the world. This year, Bienal Comunicacion reached out to see If I could illustrate an animal, pet or spirit animal I identify with. I ended up stacking all the animals that are significant in my life on a literal totem as this years contribution.

Shoutouts to the Bienal gang. The bookl turned out amazing.

GREAT AD BY DIESEL "BE A FOLLOWER"

Going against pop culture Diesel’s new campaign makes a mockery out of influencers. Showcasing a much more relax and carefree lifestyle when being a follower. I love the catch phrase “Be a Follower.” What are your thoughts?

Surfs Up

Had to put this out into the world, it was in the back of my mind for a minute. Cheers.

On Design

You’re not tasked to develop something that never exists before. It’s a common misconception that we magically create something from nothing. Good design is when you’re mindful of the past, dream of the future, and carefully blend the two to communicate a clear and simple idea. When done successfully. It is misconceived as magic.
