Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung was born in Hong Kong and is now living and working in San Francisco. He earned his B.A. in Arts degree from San Francisco State University.

I employ and remix images from popular culture, political figures and imagery found in cyberspace. Most of my social conscious artworks adopt the form of advertising in a reduction of contemporary events to a cartoon like mythology.
