Annie Wong, aka Headexplodie, is a dynamic mixed-media artist recognized for creating vibrant eye candy through sculptures, illustrations, and stop-motion animations. Infused with playful fun and a touch of teenage rebellion, her work reflects the quirky perspective born out of her second-generation Chinese-American upbringing in South Texas.

With clients like Adult Swim, Creative Mornings, The New York Times, and The Greater Good Science Center, Annie engages audiences not only as a compelling public speaker on compassion and the therapeutic power of fun but also as an artist weaving narratives that explore themes of emotions and interconnectedness in her eclectic journey.

Pee-Wee Herman once told her she was very talented and she’s been riding high on that achievement ever since then.
