Back in Nam

I just got back from a three week trip to Viet Nam. I spent time in the jungle of Cúc Phương National Park and the mountains of Sa Pa, but mostly in the urban cluster fuck of Ha Noi. I spent a lot of time sketching and was definitely inspired to do a new installation, just as soon and I find the time and the space for it.


The jungle is LOUD.


Jungle Study, done in park cafe, involving some fictional plants.













Sa Pa mountains.














Clouds, mountains, terraced rice paddies: 3 things I don't know how to draw.











Bamboo ladder street. Everything in Ha Noi is arranged by street.















What can I say? I simplify things. My western brain can't cope with Viet Nam.










I would add more, but formatting image heavy posts is a real trial of my patience.
