I want to sew together the deities and sacred traditions of the African diaspora, with afrofuturism, queer fashion and LOOKS, and the occasional C U T E spirit.
An acrylic, gouache, and colored pencil piece created by pulling the figurative image from abstract markmaking. Available today on https://t.co/TRceTl3Elu
Generations: The Astral, The Siren, The Phantom.
A trinity of drawings for the Paper Pushers show at @galleries1988.

I’m in the process of making a new small comic for a zine/compilation. I haven’t made a proper comic in YEARS. So here is a Flashback Friday to 2012 Odera comics at RISD.
This new comic is about to be uh...REAL DIFFERENT 🤗🤗🤗
Perhaps my favorite moments are anything to do with Oya.
I feel a spiritual & personal connection to Oya, and some of my favorite paintings I've done have been inspired by her. So seeing new takes are so...transformative!
TLDR: GO BUY Children of Blood and Bone by @tomi_adeyemi
Not only that but the use of Nigerian Orishas is hitting me in my spirit.
I've been doing alot of illustrations and paintings inspired by Orishas and Odinani, so reading @tomi_adeyemi's takes on them is so inspiring.
Each day of #Blackhistorymonth I've been posting an original for sale in honor of the past, present, & #Afrofuturism. When I envision the future I see children weaving themselves with the threads of the diaspora & basking in their glory

Each day of #Blackhistorymonth I've been posting an original for sale in honor of the past, present, & #Afrofuturism. Today is a painted sketch of an original character focusing on lighting & pattern, our fashion, and our hair.

I also have to celebrate #WeAreNigerianCreatives
Alot of my work draws from my Nigerian identity by reclaiming sacred Orishas & Odinani. Or sometimes I just want to draw spirits inspired by yams & kola nut.
