Hanging out at TRIN STUDIO

Trin's Home Studio
Today through an interesting turn of events I got the chance to hang out, meet and interview Trin of TRIN STUDIO, a freelance illustrator and designer as well as a full time architect. Trin works out of Khon Kean, mostly producing sculpture and reliefs, for his 3D work his inspiration is his dedication to the Buddhist faith, with the majority of his work being images of deities, the Buddha or accomplished monks. Despite being extremely driven and, in a few weeks, leaving to become a monk for a short while, Trin is a very laid back and comfortable practitioner, besides sculpture Trin also work in digital medias for freelance logo, illustration and graphic design.

Meeting Trin and having the chance to talk to visual practitioners of other cultures is just what a journey like this is meant for, observing Trin's laid back approach to his practise and over all chilled nature was interesting and a stark contrast to some of the stress filled, deadline driven practitioners that are present in the west. Having gotten along with Trin as well as him showing me through some beautiful temples where his work is placed we decided to have something of a cultural exchange, we did a sketch swap.

I sketched out a somber Batman for Trin and he sketched me a traditional, fully garbed Buddha image


Full Trin interview possibly forthcoming
