Bio

Thomas Tran is an artist from Alief-Houston, Texas. He is Vietnamese-American, 26 years old, and likes to make art simply around his everyday thoughts and feelings. He enjoys getting to know people, psychology, manga and anime, video games, sad music, and traveling. He creates illustrations, comics, and murals.

Tran earned his BFA in illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design. His book, Bubba Stories, was published in 2018 and features a story told through graphite illustrations and comics of a character named Bubba exploring a subconscious-inspired world to find a feeling he can't describe. Illustrations from this book won Honorable Mention at the AOI (Art of Illustration) show in 2018. Tran’s work has also been featured in Bonfire: A Campfire Anthology’s 2019 annual anthology, Victory Road, and Cactus Juice. In 2019, he was a recipient of the Support Artist and Creative Individuals grant from the City of Houston. This led to the creation of the New Alief Community Mural 2019 at Universal Plaza in Vietnam/Chinatown in Bellaire, the first mural in the area celebrating the Alief community. In 2022, he also created the Longevity mural in Houston's Asiatown. In 2023, he exhibited "I'm Always Here for You" at Art League Houston.
