My name is Yai Deng, and I’m a graphic artist living in Portland, Maine. I believe all great artists leave a piece of themselves each time they practice their craft. Everything that makes me who I am can be seen present in my work. From the music I like to my political views, my art is my mirror. Growing up in a South Sudanese lower-income household, going to private schools, being an altar boy at a small Polish church as a kid, simply living in Maine and many other parts of my life can be seen throughout my art. On my art Instagram page (@nully1999 https://www.instagram.com/nully1999/), viewers can see topics ranging from the murder of the last Romanovs in Russia to current rappers living in Atlanta. I want my art to evoke certain emotions in my audience.
