5. INDIE
Year: 2012
Media: Pencil
Dimensions: A3 size
The hat and the round rimmed shades used to
be a very fundamental part of my dressing.
People called me Indie as the two accessories
made me stand out. The hat and the round
rimmed shades hence became my symbols of
individuality.

FAMILY
Media: Pencil
Dimensions: A3 size
At my school, students are
broken into groups known
as advisory families headed
by a teacher (advisor). This
is a figure drawing (portrait)
of my advisory sister and
this drawing of her
symbolises how strong
family ties are. From the
picture, one can see that
she is injured on her left
hand and is not smiling.
This shows that family
would always be there even
in the worst of times.

Year: 2012

I made this comic in an
attempt to help my younger
brother understand Ecology,
a topic in biology. The comic

nature and the ecosystem
on planet Earth.

18. ‘IKU’
Year: 2012
Media: Pencil
Dimensions: A3 size
Iku is a story about a boy who was banished from his village with his mother
because he was a twin. Twins were seen as a sign of misfortune and sorrow in the
Yoruba tradition. Although his brother died in the Dark forest, he survived but his
mother sold him off to the evil one, Esu, as she feared he might die as well. Years
later, Esu came to claim the soul of the young boy and turned him into an
immortal, cursed to roam the earth raining judgement on the wicked.
My greatest ambition is to transform the image of Africa by producing originally
African movies and animations to International quality hence letting the world
know that there is more to Africa than what they see in the media. Iku is one of
my originally African comics centred around the cultural practices and traditions
of the Yoruba people.
