Thanh Vũ was born in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Growing up with manga, he wanted to be a mangaka. Turns out, Vu graduated BA Graphic Design and worked as a part-time graphic designer with a special passion for drawing. Quickly after that, passion replaced profession. Vu decided to make illustration his main career and pursue making his own comics. His childhood dream came true and expanded even further. Vu believes that although drawing is wordless art, but it can tell countless stories hidden under. And his job is to find that right storytelling though strokes and colors. His hobby is searching fun things to do, he has the amazing talent of distraction. Currently he is a full time illustrator-graphic novelist, an amateur carpenter and very-amateur motorcycle fabricator on-free-time. In 2021, he finished it and self-published his first graphic novel “Sceadu” in Vietnam. He won the New Talent Prize of BIBF Ananas Illustration Awards in 2019 and has been selected for the shortlist of the Folio Book Illustration Award in 2022.​
