About the Artist
Hoang Tran is an artist born and raised in Northern California and currently lives in Cupertino. He attended dental school before withdrawing to pursue more creative ventures. He now carves a wide variety of subjects out of everyday crayons using the same instruments and skills he learned in dental school. Instead of painting his carvings, wax from other colored crayons is melted and carefully applied to the main crayon. Thus each carving is made completely out of crayon wax.
