In our modern digital era, phrases like 'upcoming, hot new talent' really get thrown around a lot. Every artist and his mum is the hot new upstart, supposedly fast on the rise to widespread recognition. However, a problem lays in the fact that however talented any hot new talent is, much of this is just rhetorical, puffed up hyping. The majority of the artists that were being lauded as the saviours of [x] genre, or [y] scene merely a year ago have since faded back into a sort of obscure, grey status, once again becoming just another local band backed only by their tight, devoted, almost cult following. It is because of this sort of 'overexposing' of supposed innovation and talent that the concept of the magnitude of real talent has since been largely diminished.

It is with this mindset that we welcome innovators such as Stephen Pham.

This is a pretty decent representation (loosely) of my web design lecturer, who, incidentally, is also named Stephen. I showed this to my sister and she said it looked terrifying because of his cold serial killer face.
