Man without Fear
Although this piece is very different from the Nomad, they are quite similar in meaning to me. Its all about facing our fears to achieve our full potentials as human beings. And we are unstoppable creative machines but our biggest weakness is our fear of the unknown. And the only way we can overcome our fears is full surrender to ourselves as capable and powerful.
the moment
I never really planned for the show to have a musical theme, but sometimes things have a life of their own. I’m not trying to be philosophical, because I’m not, but I think every moment has its soul, and sometimes that soul comes to life.I never really planned for the show to have a musical theme, but sometimes things have a life of their own.

Nina
Nina is one of my favorite artists of all time. Her work as a feminist and civil rights activist makes her iconic, and gives her music a deeper meaning. This work is based on cover of her “Young Gifted and Black” album. The first time I saw the album I got obsessed with drawing it in a pop-art style, later I realized numerous artists had drawn her in that style from the 70s. With this piece I wanted to capture the of the mood of the time, but most of all its simplicity.
the first
I remember going to into a shop in New York a couple of years ago, hanging on the wall were these stunning sketches of women in various poses. The style of the work was so breathtaking it sparked my creativity. Shortly after I got on a bus and did what would become the first piece of my next style of work; hence the title.
Mr. DJ
This piece was inspired by the song God is a DJ by Faithless. I think after I heard it, I really wanted to do a DJ piece that was imposing and very stylized.

Gon Gon- Drummer
Anyone who knows my work will notice that most of my subjects are women, artists, political icons, and drummers. Although I have drawn numerous drummers in the past this was the first one created in this style. I doubt Gon-Gon will be the last.
The Nomad and the Desert
The Nomad marks a clear departure of my previous work, not only because of being the lone acrylic piece of the series, but also because of the personal nature of its subject matter. I conceived this piece while reading the Alchemist. Its central message of not silencing the voice in your heart, and pursuing your a dreams despite the circumstances, struck a cord on me. Dream comes with hustle, struggle, and adventure. Where others see pain and suffering, I see perseverance, power, and adventure.
Ododo inu igbo
All high schools have wall poets, some are obnoxious bathroom vandals, while others are genuine scribes. I remember one of those instances very vividly, walking down a set of stairs and finding a short poem on a wall written in Yoruba.
70s Soul Sister
On this piece I wanted to capture the subversive nature of 70s aesthetics. My infatuation with the period is not limited to the arts, the music, and the politics, but also extends to more mundane things like the hair and the clothes.
