Illustrations

Making illustrations is deeply satisfying for me and often times it’s a great way to accurately depict my characters before they get animated .

Keke Marwa

The tricycle popularly referred to as ‘keke Marwa’ since it was introduced by Colonel Mohammed Buba Marwa – a one time governor of Lagos who served from 22nd August 1996 – 29th May 1999, has for years been one of the major means of transportation in Nigeria especially for its ability to navigate individuals to their respective destinations very swiftly amidst the heavy traffic posed everyday by the overwhelming number of cars on major roads and highways.

Ella

Ella is an embodiment of so much love and affection spiced with a bit of sauciness and deep ambitions.

A writer extraordinaire who is very
passionate about her fashion blog and exploring different fashion styles. She is a keeper, at least for her man who she “draws her inspiration from”.

She’s got a weird thing that happens to her ear-rings when she gets close to any fashion house and this leaves everyone in so much awe. Could this be a super power? I guess we’ll find that out for
ourselves.
