I was born in South Carolina, raised in Arizona, and now live in Brooklyn making illustrations and comics. When doing neither, I travel to speak about various topics related to my book VIETNAMERICA, ranging from multiculturalism to graphic memoir, diaspora to DIY mini-comics. If you have needs that fit any of the aforementioned ways I love spending my days, gimme a shout at gb@gbtran.com or 917.562.3946.
