Michael C. Hsiung

Often times, con­text is what gives things mean­ing, or gives us license to express prop­er emo­tion about some­thing. In Michael C. Hsi­ung’s draw­ings, it’s not only the draw­ings I love, but his titles and expla­na­tions for his work as well — the writ­ing ele­ment helps to give his work the con­text to prop­er­ly appre­ci­ate and respond to his work. 

All images via his web­site. Check out his Bio page for an awe­some FAQ.

His titles real­ly added to the expe­ri­ence of view­ing his work, so I am pair­ing them with each drawing!
