About

Tom Nguyen is a Vietnamese-American visual artist who began his 25-year professional career freelancing for comic book publishers such as DC Comics and Marvel Comics from the age of 19.  Building his name as an inker, he has worked on major titles such as Batman, Green Lantern, JLA, and Superman: The Man of Steel among others.  

Tom has since quickly branched out into other areas professionally, such as pencilling, painting, and authoring two instructional books on comic book art.  In addition, Tom has added photography to his resume in recent years with his commercial work for catalogs and portraits of glamour and fitness models.

Along with writer/artist Keith Champagne, Tom is the co-creator of the successful Kickstarter hit comic book The Switch and is currently working on the sequel.

In recent years, Tom has rebranded himself as an illustrator for television specializing in pitch illustrations, storyboards, concept art, and onscreen artwork (most notably for CBS’s Big Brother, TBS’s Wipeout, and Nickelodeon’s All That among others)

In his spare time, Tom makes appearances at various comic/pop culture conventions, teaches art via his online workshop Art Samurai, runs photography lighting workshops, lifts weights, and plans his next areas of travel with his wife and little Boston Terrier dog named Banh-Bao.
