In this lively, laugh-filled conversation, Texas artist Loc Huynh dives into the wild, wonderful path that led him from his Lone Star roots to the buzzing streets of Brooklyn, New York. Loc shares what it was like growing up in Texas—where pride runs deep, the skies are wide, and he learned early on how to find humor in almost anything. With plenty of playful banter, he talks about the big move north, the culture shock of Brooklyn sidewalks, and how he and his beloved black cat have finally adjusted to apartment living that’s definitely not Texas-sized.
Loc walks through his artistic journey—from doodling as a kid to becoming a drawing teacher—sprinkling in jokes, heartfelt moments, and the kind of sincerity that makes you lean in. He opens up about his inspirations, the role of nostalgia, and how Pokémon (yes, he’s a proud fan) helped shape the characters and storytelling in his work. He even confesses which movies made him cry… and laughs at himself for it.
Throughout, Loc reflects on the deeper meaning behind his bold, narrative-driven art while never missing an opportunity for a joke. By the end, one thing is clear: no matter where he lives, he’s Texan forever.
