Pop Culture Carved Crayons By Hoang Tran Will Color You Excited.




Although not the first artist to carve images from Crayola crayons, Hoang Tran of Sunnyvale, carves his in even more detailed likenesses than our other favorite Crayon carver, Diem Chau, and adds painted details. And since he is lesser known, his are actually available for purchase at an affordable price.

Characters from Breaking Bad, Star Wars, The Big Lebowski, Doctor Who and Game Of Thrones melt my heart. Also available are crayons carved into the characters from Futurama, Adventure Time, Disney characters and more.
