About the Artist
My name is Marlon Huynh. I am currently a freelance artist as well as a caricature artist/assistant manager for Kamans Art Shoppes at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. At an early age, I discovered my talent for drawing and began developing my artistic skills.
After graduating high school in 1997, I continued my education at the Ringling School of Art and Design. During my senior year, I created an animated short called All Shook Up. It later went on to be screened at various animation film festivals such as the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, the Independents’ Film Festival, and the East Lansing Children’s Film Festival. The short also received an honorable mention at the 2002 World Population Film/Video Festival. In 2001, I graduated from Ringling with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Computer Animation.
In January of 2003, I was hired by Kamans Art Shoppes, where I was introduced to caricatures. I was instantly hooked on the artform. I have learned a great deal and been deeply inspired by the incredibly talented artists that I work with. On most days, I can be found at Busch Gardens drawing caricatures of people from all over the world.
I am a lifelong sports fan and have been a fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning since their inception. Over the last few years, I decided to do more sports-themed art merging my interest of sports and art.
I am skilled in various media including graphite, marker, colored pencil, and acrylic. Outside of sports-themed art and caricatures, I create other works that range from the abstract to realistic portraits.
Please contact me if you see something you like or want to commission a piece of art.
