Art Weekend: Collaboration

Hi, so this is slightly different from what is usually featured here but i specialise in ceramics, ya'll are going to be seeing more of these. So anyway, we were asked to depict something that speaks about collaboration. 

Fear Perfect

I can't be them

They can't be me

We can't be us

We can't be free.

The laws we make

The rules we laid

Art Weekend: Hope

I saw this picture and it touched me. So i decided to draw it. Hope is something we all have. We are alive because of it. We survive in this country because of it. We form relationships because of it. Heck, even buying a tin of milk is a form of hope. Because you have hope that you will find milk when you open the tin. This is the purest form of that singular emotion that keeps us going. I hope it does for you what it did for me. My name's Hope.

She is Not a Trophy

She's not a trophy
Not similar to a metal
Of whatever kind of precious stone
Be it gold, sapphire, diamond
She's not a trophy.

Art Weekend: Cat

Hi. So i thought I'd do a cat this week. In this part of the world, Africa;especially in Nigeria, people believe that cats are agents of witchcraft or are even witches themselves. While that might be true, it doesn't stop me from believing them to be cute. I don't know about any other animal that can land on its own feet even after falling from a great height. I think cats are awesome.

The Other Side of Love

"I love you, Deronke!" He said as he got close to the dining table. His eyes were moist, and veins stood out on his face, neck and arms. I wondered how long he had been crying, shedding angry, bitter tears for a love lost. I wondered how long he had kept those words buried in his heart. The words that he now poured on me.

Valentine Special: A Letter to You My Crush

I'm looking for her.
Is that her in the BRT -line?
With the bangles and high heels
Used to trek to gate now she take cabs
I don't want her 'cause she may post me
But I heard she just broke up
Her old guy, dulled up He drank too many seven-up
What type of drink you want girl?
I'm VODKA  forever

Valentine Special: Wuraola

Wura from the black soil - a winsome fairness

Unspeckled skin – sacred to the spectacles

Rays recollected in a feminine silhouette

All eyes can’t but slumber in the stupor of admiration

Oh! Are the orbs of your oval face moulded from the soil of the sun?

Let your lamp of love lighten the labyrinth of my heart

Accept prithee my poetic platonic proposal...

Art Weekend: Afro

This one was just a little doodle that turned out really cool, so i just did it on a bigger scale. I don't think I'm done, maybe I'll complete it later. I have this affinity for afros. I think it's completely African and I'm African. So it works.

The Sun and My Smile

After all the rain, the sun
Shines on hill and grassy mead
After all the weep, my smile 
Flexing the muscles of both ends 
Colonizing my entire face.

Art Weekend: Familiarity

Familiarity  was a work I did for our class exhibition when I was in 200 level. The theme was 'eyes that have ceased to see'. A phrase gotten from J.P Clark's poem 'Casualties'.
