I guess cat’s out the bag already because I’m already seeing orders 😅
But a lot of you all have been here since 2020 when my art really took off and over the years I have been getting emails or people even traveling to ask me in person at my exhibits for a discontinued print
People will tell you to get her an iPad so she can develop it more. No, get her a sewing machine and get her into sewing classes. Actualizing a talent by fostering the basic skills needed during childhood is the first step. And as she develops take her to fashion based gatherings
In 25 years of marriage, my mom has waken up everyday to make breakfast for my dad before he goes to work. Even on days she doesn’t like him very much.
Everyone is heading out after the Friendsgiving I hosted, and I noticed this guy trying to discreetly leave with a slightly heavy bag. Why did I stop him and pull out 2 bottles of my refrigerated cold kombucha?
Dawg this yt girl on tik tok just made a pb&j from scratch and when I say from scratch I mean the damn bread, peanut butter, and the damn jelly. I’m surprised she didn’t make the damn knife to cut it in half 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember pricing this painting I did at 12k and the gallery was like that’s too high. It might not sell. Why did the lady that buy it, thank me saying that was a steal 💀💀💀
My professor wanted me to stay behind after class then told me a “true artist” does not create artwork for brands or create products with artwork for the public. That my painting sales don’t add value to my work
Lol I’m dropping out of this program. I’m actually over this
I think it’s really nasty behavior to be personally invited, say you are coming, and not update the host that you are no longer coming. Even a simple follow up the day after
I generally sell paintings for $2,000 or more. The most I’ve sold one for is $10k. And my prices will still be going up. Just want to put that out there for people that want a $150 painting from me. How do y’all think I make a career from art?

I calmly asked how he got that and after he proudly told me, I went home. I’m not going to correct a man in the privacy of his home. Can never know what can set someone off
The way I failed Art History in college. You want me to write a 5 page paper on a painting? I promise you 5 pages of intentional thoughts did not pass through that artist’s mind when creating
I’ve had my eyes on Niyo Malik modeling for my next clothing campaign so I invited him to lunch. I gasped when he walked in. The man is literally beautiful, like eyes were following him. Anyways he agreed and said he loved the brand so I’m so hype!
I let go of my house cleaner 4 months ago because I was embarrassed at why I couldn’t clean a 2 bed 2 bath by myself. Having to wake up at 6am because it’s the only time I have to clean has been my 13th reason why so I will be calling her back. I’m even going to bake her a pie
Exactly. If you’re big chest friendly and want bras that actually fit with outfits, these are some recommendations in the thread. The cut off is going to be a U.S (H) for this
I’m wearing a Balconette Bra here. If you have a full chest I suggest a full lace with wide straps
Finally convinced my mom to let me have the house in Asaba 🥹 I’m going to turn it into my escape artist home. If you’re looking for me 2 months out of the year I’ll be here painting and minding my business
Great news guys 🥰
I am partnering with a wallpaper company based in Canada so I will be able to release a collection of peel and stick wallpapers like the one I made behind me in May.
I’ve been helping a trans woman get on her feet for a year now.
- Jobs refused interviews when she showed up. Even McDonald’s
- When she finally got a job after months of rejection, no one would respond to her inquiries to rent a room but would respond to my dms
one day we will have a honest conversation about how certain groups weaponize their identities to get their bills paid and then accuse folks of being phobic when it doesn’t work out for them
My friend got his masters in engineering and worked for a bit. He didn’t feel content and started exploring how to make leather goods. He taught himself, quit his job, and never looked back. Now he’s been hand-making leather bags for 7 years . It’s never too late to start afresh
They verified me on IG. I’m a fucking professional artist 😭😭😭
My password for years was a code that said I want to be be a contemporary African Artist. I wrote that password so many times and today I’m like wait 😂 I AM A CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ARTIST. brb crying my eyes out
And when she gets bored of the old ladies at Joanne teaching how to sew an apron for the 100th time, please find a local seamstress (easy to find online) and get her to apprentice. If she decides she does not want to be creating, show her the other facets of the fashion industry
It happened 🤣 I was wearing my coat in my Apt mail room and this woman was wearing my coat too. I literally was so shocked and came back into it when she started screaming and jumping. So I started screaming and jumping. I’m going to invite her over for dinner
I threw him a curve ball and I said like David Hockney? He said yes exactly , he’s rich not having to do anything you’re doing.
Lol who is going to tell this man about Hockney’s commissions he did for the London’s Underground Trains.
I rented a 10 bed haunted mansion for my birthday weekend and flew in my closest friends. Everyone got a disposable camera and we found secret doors, heads, and more 💀 I’ll post the pics once I develop the films
One of the artworks I Commissioned for Lagos Fashion Week. They turned it down, said it doesn’t represent Lagos, and I didn’t get paid. 🥴
Hope y’all like it
I keep trying to make everyday products but so many of y’all keep using them to decorate your homes like it’s a masterpiece 😂😂😂 At this point, I’m honored.
Muting this. At least now some of you know not to do this. It’s theft. And for the people calling me a “bitch” in the quotes and calling me ungrateful, kiss my ass!
Women keep posting paragraphs of men “read them to filth”. Anytime, I get a long paragraph from a man, I unfocus my eyes and delete the thread. My ex caught on to that and mailed me a screenshot of his text in a package because he knew I didn’t read it the first time
What’s so sad about this Keke situation is that I 100% believe someone can act like the perfect person until they get what they wanted. A child, marriage, or some sort of permanent connection to you especially if you are successful
So I applied for an art residency program in the country and I got in!! Yayyy! So in March, I’ll be in the middle of nature for 2 weeks+ with just my paint supplies, a big private studio, bad service, and fresh air. I’ll try my best to document this
I’ve always loved the illustrations that graced the New Yorker.
I remember seeing this years back and laughing. Then during the start of the Pandemic it didn’t seem so comical anymore. So I created my own version.

Half those accounts were fake and alt-right. I bookmarked a few suspicions and like clock work they returned back to normal after like 1-2 weeks
Grew my nails long enough to file it the shape I want. I use dip powder to protect my nails since I’m always lifting heavy items and painting. And the peelable gel base because I get bored after 2-3 weeks and don’t want to over file my nail beds to get gel off
