Hi, everyone.
I'd really appreciate it if you could spare a few nairas (and dollars) to buy some of my pieces, here's why.
Apart from the fact that they're all gorgeous, gorgeous pieces that would make your space look great, you'll also be directly supporting me.

Last borns are crazy.
My sister was putting on lipgloss and my dad was staring at her silently, because my guy was waiting for her and sis was taking her time.
She turned and noticed and looked at him for a bit and said softly“ah Jesus! do you… do you want?”
We all laughed pls
For those of us praying for new apartments and new cities and new places next year, I pray we all get it.
I pray we’re strengthened to do the work we need to do, and I pray the right opportunities come our way.
I pray we find favor 🫶🏽🫶🏽❤️❤️❤️
We often use “your body is the temple of God” to talk about sexual sin and modesty but we leave out health, eating and exercise habits, work habits, sleeping habits.
Your body is a temple, take care of it.

@Nike__Naya
My mum! She'll just be staring at you like 👀
Me: what is it?
Her: nothing o, I'm just looking at you, so I cannot look at my daughter again?
I think more people need to be okay with the fact that not everyone gets married for procreation.
Some people just want to share their life with one person, the end. No kids.
And that's fine.
And some people want to have kids without physically birthing them, and that's fine too

Went on a date at a café with one, I think I either sketched a bit or showed him my sketchbook or something and he said "so what do you do for a living, and apart from your drawing hobby" or something along those lines.
I felt so offended fam.
I remember
@TheCharlesIsidi
asking how we felt after the Lekki massacre and everything that had happened, I painted my feelings
Trying to find peace and feeling like everything would come crashing down at the same time.
I'm glad I had God and art to keep me sane.
Well, enjoy.
So, this painting took weeks.
Literally.
I've had to start the painting over TWICE!
(This pc will not shame me, neither will photoshop.)
And finally it's here!
There are two versions, and they will be available for purchase as 12x16 framed prints.
Omo! X 1000
Ready?
As you take this advice, I hope you’re also ready to lose people.
I hope you understand that sometimes this thing can cause irreparable damage to your relationships.
Part of working on yourself is growing the ability to stay through things as you hope people stay for you.
Last year, after the breakup I had, my friends made space for me.
The funniest is a friend I made on the trip I made right after it.
Some housed me, some took me to lunch or just to the mall, sometimes it was just a walk and I’d break into tears and they’d let me cry…
when my friends have a breakup, my first instinct is to tell them, they can come work with me, eat with me, sleep over with me. this is not a time for them to be alone. same when they’re physically sick
I'm so happy I'm in tears.
It's not just for the amazing thing that's happened, but for the possibilities unlocked in my mind.
A month ago, if you'd seen the inside of my mind, omo!
But now!
Omo, thank you Jesus!
It has taken soooo long to finally upload this.
I've struggled so long wit making my work look as good as I want it to look, but here it is in it's unfinished form.
I've erased and started the shading several times over,
but here she is, still a work in progress.
"Chubbs"
I came back here to share news.
Your girl is an internationally published illustrator o!
And to think that this time last year I wanted to quit this career entirely lol.
Glory to God🙏🏾❤️
I'm sooooo happy!
Theres a guy in YouTube who used to listen to Christian music and react to it as a Non-Christian and every time I'd watch it id just pray for him, and the comments would be full of prayers.
He's a Christian now and I'm not even surprised.
I can finally post these!
These are a part of a collection called “Face Me I Face You”,
a collection exploring the culture and life in Nigeria’s mega cities.
How do these make you feel?
“Fresh air” 2022
‘NEPA wahala ” 2022
“Sunset in a Sunday” 2022
“Hand wash,air dry” 2022
My own contributions to this conversation is…
Nothing.
Because chase o, be chased o, position o, don’t.
I’ve seen love happen differently for everybody.
There are general rules, there are exceptions, everybody knows what they truly want and if you are it, you would know.
❤️&💡
I’m so tired of hearing the whole “you can’t be Christian and be depressed” nonsense.
Yes, Jesus heals, but we still need to go to the hospital for our bodies when they are sick.
Why is it so hard to fathom that your brain and mind can be sick too and you need help?
I picked the one that feels the most like me in this season.
I have the heart of a child, and I express happiness like a 5 year old.
God is my daddy and He has put a smile on my face.
I'm so grateful!
Happy birthday Jess, the Joy of the Lord is your strength!
Every time I see people get upset about a fat person posting themselves and hyping themselves up I wonder if they actually take a second to allow common sense have it’s work.
Let’s assume that she’s taking everyone’s advice and losing weight, she should hate herself till then?
@TolulopeAyeni
People have who they're eyeing, the people they're eyeing are eyeing other people.
🤷🏾♀️
For some of us, our bank accounts haven't gotten there yet, other focuses.
Japa and personality compatibility,
Spec.
Emotional intelligence or the lack thereof.
Sometimes people don't ignore you on purpose, some of us genuinely forget.
I don't know when I became the person who'd have many unread texts, but it happened.
I open the message and forget to text back.
I know saying life is weird is an excuse, but bruh life is weird.
Let’s not normalize kikiking to these types of jokes.
Everybody should be accountable for their behaviour.
“I’m sorry” shouldn’t be so difficult to say.
What types of partnerships are y’all having?
Don’t manipulate anybody, please.
Even as a joke, this is not funny.
Sometime last month, I was having one of those days where breathing seemed tedious and my heart was racing.
I really needed to paint, but my brain wasn't having it. I did this instead, turns out I love collaging.
2nd frame is the Lightroom edit.
I almost gave up one this thing a few hours ago.
It reminded me of why I don't take portrait commissions 😭
@Photoshop
didn't crash once during this entire thing, I'm beyond ecstatic tbh.
Most of the braids you see me with, I made myself.
I custom made the blue extensions into spring twist extensions for the wraps.
I also make interesting color blends.
Someday, I'll actually talk about how much my parents support me.
I mean, I actually dropped out of med school and these people supported me.
Now, I'm doing art and my mum will come at anyone who tries to use the med school thing against me. 😂
Like, try it.
Not everyone will have/has an "I used to be so bad and immoral and now Jesus has changed me" salvation story.
This should actually make us understand even more that salvation is truly by grace and not moral conduct.
Because there are some unsaved people with strict moral codes.
@shaolinwaaavy
@OgFeran
You realize your heart is beating weird and fast and part of your panic is that your heart would have problems as a result, so it just beats worse.
The nausea
The cold
The feeling like you can't breathe and panicking even further because of it.
The cold.
Dear Christian, this month pray like never before.
Pray for Christians in Southern Kaduna, pray for the furtherance of this gospel in site of opposition.
Pray!
People's lives depend on it, the gospel prospers in our hands!
Please, if you're moving out of your apartment in Gbagada, Ogudu, Yaba, let me know 🙏
2 bedroom apartments pls.
Or if you have a roommate moving out in these areas, kindly indicate 🙏🙏
Rt for reach pls.
I think a lot of the time, perhaps we should wait a while before running to twitter to tweet something that was said in Church.
Whether prophecy or teaching, let it sit with you first.
Sometimes it’s a sensitive discourse, perhaps pause, call your friend and discuss it.
I need friends who are illustrators /graphic designers that I actively interact with and talk about work with.
Creating in isolation is so exhausting.
I miss being part of an actual community, I miss design school😭😪
Hey
@cuppymusic
I think this painting would resonate with you, seeing as it's quite, well, "cuppy"
😂
That's too good a line to pass up, please can you guys help me get her to see this? 😊
I remember

1. Find a slaughter and buy meat in bulk, you can get family and friends to buy together and share.
2. Use your local market and become friendly with a seller that has good produce. You get extras and discounts (trust me in this one).
3. Plant tomatoes and herbs if yoh have space
@niggasisnotshit
Nah sis, this isn't it.
What you're doing is invalidating another person's problems and even if they seem like non-issues to you, these are very valid problems.
Do better
@TheAjibolaGrey
Ahhh!
Hot Goldspot with firewood jollof and fried beef that looks like Maggi cubes
The taste of the chewed meat and Goldspot combo is unbeaten.
😪
Going through stuff and wanting to talk to someone about it but also not wanting to talk about it because it feels like you've been saying the same thing since and you feel like it's tiring to hear 🤝 me.
I have a rant.
Stop asking fat people stupid questions when you see them eat.
Stop making stupid comments.
Because unless you’re their nutritionist, you have no right to comment on what/when someone eats.
No, you’re not concerned, you just want to feel good about yourself.
🥹my entire tl is happy for Precious and Bela.
That’s how beautiful they both are, like we’re all so collectively joyful at this news.
Love is beautiful man!
While you’re here, help my First born ministry so when she bills me I can pull out my card comfortably.
I’m a pretty awesome artist and you can shop my art prints here and there’s currently a 10% sale running

I don't talk about it much, but I've created a curriculum for teaching art to children. Age 3-17 in 3 different age groups.
I was going to teach weekend classes somewhere, but they didn't hold.
If this is something you'd be interested in, please reach out to me, thank you.
I actually agree with this.
That song/chant really doesn’t sit well with me at all.
Like why am I talking about satan’s ability to ruin things?
Magnify the Lord with me, we make a mess of satan’s attempts daily. We boast loudly in our God.
Prayer- devotion, duty, delight!
Book a spa or nail session for them and send the details, send cake just because, send food.
Buy a hoodie or tshirt (that you may or may not steal later lol).
Take them out for lunch.
Some of them actually like flowers.
I will sha preach to my Uber drivers sha.
We thank God for the gospel. There's nothing about this opposition that is new tbh.
We keep preaching, we keep praying, we see men saved.
I'm so happy I'm in tears.
It's not just for the amazing thing that's happened, but for the possibilities unlocked in my mind.
A month ago, if you'd seen the inside of my mind, omo!
But now!
Omo, thank you Jesus!
