EP 12: Loc Huynh - The Texas Artist Living in Brooklyn on His Paintings, Being a Drawing Teacher, and Being Texan.

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.Be sure to check out Loc's work at the links below:📸 Instagram: @locxhuynh🌐 Website: lochuynhart.com🙂 And don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at AlwaysWalmak.com✌️ And follow me on IG at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠walmak.podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 12: Loc Huynh – Nghệ sĩ Texas tại BrooklynNghệ sĩ Texas Loc Huynh chia sẻ về con đường đưa anh từ quê hương Texas đến những con phố nhộn nhịp của Brooklyn, New York.
