"His Moonlit Maiden," graphite, ink & digital color on paper, 28x9", 2020. 🎊🧧 First off, Happy Tet, everyone! Secondly, here's a recently finished mural for the new @moonrabbitdc restaurant located at @intercontinentaldcwharf. The mural is a reiteration of my "Fortune" painting and spans 222" wide by 85" tall. It depicts the tale of the Jade Rabbit and his journey to find his place next to the Moon Lady. . I'm incredibly proud to have worked on this project because of its homage to my heritage and to the beauty of Vietnamese cuisine. I grew up eating dishes with ingredients like nuoc mam, and my dad also worked as a cook for 20+ years so this hits close to home for me. Chef @kevtien and his culinary team runs the Moon Rabbit kitchen, serving a menu that narrates his story as a first generation Asian American. It's been an honor being part of this food journey! . Thank you to Catherine Carter for her impeccable art direction and Chef Tien for bringing me on board. The restaurant is open to the public with limited seating for a safe dining experience. . @thewharfdc #tet #jaderabbit #moonlady #moonrabbit #mural #muralart #illustration #trannguyen #mynameistran #hismoonlitmaiden #vietnameserestaurant #asianamericanartist

“Allah telah menurunkan perkataan yang paling baik iaitu al-Quran yang serupa (nilai ayat-ayatnya) lagi berulang-ulang, gementar kerananya kulit orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya, kemudian menjadi tenang kulit dan hati mereka pada waktu mengingati Allah. Itulah petunjuk Allah, dengan kitab itu Dia menunjukkan siapa yang yang dikehendaki-Nya. Dan sesiapa yang disesatkan Allah, maka tidak ada seorang pun pemberi petunjuk baginya.” (Surah az-Zumar ayat 23) . "Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah . That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide." (Surah az-Zumar ayat 23) . . . .. Nak tenang? Berminat sertai PMC PLUS 6 batch ke 2? Jom isi borang berminat.

took a #mugshot today and it reminded me about an interesting lesson from the following excerpt: . “Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.” . If you seek to fight the "monsters", then you shouldn't do it using their methods, or you'll be as bad as the thing you want to destroy. And the next part is just a reiteration almost... If you surround yourself with negativity, that's what you'll become. Negative. . #seanlje #choosepositivity
