Past Event: Blog Feature

 

I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a feature in the blog CONFESSIONS OF A NAIJAHOLIC. This blog is a cornucopia of creativity from Nigerians. Please check it out!

Recent Work: Autobiographic Comic Strip

I just finished a three page story on how I discovered my love for visual storytelling. My detailed post is here. 

Recent Work: Portrait Commission (4)

At last, I am through with the first of the portraits I have been working on for over a month. I had two false starts but eventually figured out how best to go about it.

The posted work was painted in CorelDRAW 12 using layers just as in Photoshop. This made it easier to handle the many complex shapes overlapping one another. There are over 12000 shapes in the painting and it will be produced as a large scale giclee print on archival canvas.

I hope to be done with the rest soon.

Recent Work: 'Tortoise The King' Illustrations.

I have been tied up with several projects, notably a set of portraits. But I was finally able to finish the illustrations for the story book Tortoise The King. The author, Kelvin Biachi, hopes to have the book ready for the London Book Fair. The time is tight but I wish him all the best.

Posted here are some of the illustrations.

 

Recent Event: My LinkedIn Page

I just created a page for my studio on LinkedIn, the professional networking site. I'll be happy to link up with you over there. 

   

Recent Work: Ginger Cat Illustrations

I just finished painting four illustrations for a pet care web site. The work gave me an opportunity to test run the Cintiq tablet pen. The experience was different from using the mouse. I still have a lot of practice ahead f me, but painting the fur was less of a hassle.

Recent Event: My Facebook Page

I recently updated my facebook page and decided to use it as a networking platform for my studio. I'm surprised I hadn't thought of that earlier. I have also been able to connect with many wonderful people, especially from the CCAS community.

Recent Work: My 2010 Portfolio & Resume

My 2010 portfolio is ready and in distribution on-line. Posted are a few pages from the 35-page compilation. A low resolution PDF file can be downloaded here.

 

Recent Event: My Cintiq Tablet!

At long last, I finally have the Cintiq 12WX tablet. I have been expecting this tool for almost a year. It cost quite a bundle, but it is worth it. I've already started trying it out on photoshop 7. It's a different painting experience from using the mouse.

Recent Work: House-Warming Gift

Welcome to 2010! I believe this year is pregnant with blessings for as many as are bold enough to reach out for something better.

I find myself rejoicing with two relatives and two friends for the same reasons- They have built their own houses! WOW, that's no small feat! Here is a poster I designed as gift items. I had copies printed, mounted and framed.
