Hi everyone, my name is Duong Nguyen and I am from Vietnam. I am a senior major in RBE and ECE. I started doing art when I was in high school, where I discover that I actually like making art. I started with metalworking and woodworking. Pictures below are a few of my work.
First picture is made from all metal from lotus flower to the dragonfly. I am sad because I did not have a video of it, because it supposed to be a water sculptures as the water was pumped at middle of the lotus flower and flow down to the bucket. It is very relaxing.
Second picture is a woden cryptic I made based on the idea of a metal cryptic from Da Vinci. I think I am the only who can solve it, not because of the password (because even knowing the password we cannot actually open it), but because I used sounds that I heard from turning the ring so I know it is in the correct spot or not. Pretty cool !
Then I went to WPI, I took Animation, 3D modeling and Interactive Art. You can take a look at a few of my project on my website:

I am RBE and ECE major so I have experience with programming and electronics, using camera and variety of sensors, you can see some of my projects on my website link above.
I also love anime and manga so in my free time I also draw some stuff. Below is my most recent drawing, I first drew everything with shading and stuff but then for coloring I just used an AI to paint my drawing (so I actually did not color my drawing at all). The AI is pretty cool you should try it too, just for fun 🙂
I have some experience on making movie, I have taken some kung fu class, which I think it is very similar to dancing. I also play ukulele, but I am just beginner though.
My creative inspirations come from anywhere. Anything that I found amazing and awesome, I want to make art of it so that other people can see and feel how I feel too, happy and being amazed. This is also related to my goal when making art is making people feel happy, being amazed about the beautiful world around us, not only about nature but also virtual like movies and games.
