Bio

Fawn Fruits aka Daniel Hyun Lim is an illustrator based in Los Angeles. He is currently an illustration instructor at Otis college of Art and Design, Santa Monica College and Red Engine Studios.

He’s an intuitive artist who doesn’t sketch out an elaborate design, but relishes the spontaneity of the art and moves things as he goes with colored pencils and acrylics. A lot of the subjects from his paintings come randomly—he keeps his eyes open to anything and everything. His works are timeless with a striking juxtaposition of muted versus vibrant hues. The colors are an anchor to reality and are a huge factor to the symbolic message that he is telling.

With his 1000 Drawings project, he aims to take on 1000 portraits at $100 each. This project, although based on lighthearted subject matters, is about the empowerment of the individual and an idea to work around the system. He came up with this idea to pay for rent while retaining and to regain his skills as an artist. In order for him to draw the girly drawings, he needed to hide behind an alias. The name Fawn Fruits was born with these drawings. Fawn, being a favorite peaceful animal… and Fruits, Japanese street fashion.

As he mentioned in a recent Juxtapoz interview, there are enough serious paintings in the world that shout and make big statements. He wants his work to be more subtle and speak peacefully to the viewer and to bring a moment of tranquility. His dream is to show the world some love, one Fawn Fruits at a time.
