Imagination 

Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly – they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.

Figure #1

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

Figure #2

Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.

Figure #3

If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.

Figure #4

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

FIgure #5

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.

Figure #6

An original ballpoint pen drawing done and signed in front by the artist. We are all dreamers, we live in this world and aspire for great heights in our struggles and endeavors. This piece resonates with me so much, I developed the idea in the catholic home where I’m currently lodged for my Youth service. I’m a dreamer and only my dreams can rescue me in the cold war(world) “On this flight, I pray I never loose sight” The only time we can visualize better is with our eyes closed as only then we really see the wealth inside us. The wealth inside is represented by the crown above my subject’s head and I choose the yellow color as “YELLOW” symbolizes richness and wealth. The circular ring round the head is the gene and It symbolizes the greatness that runs deep in our genetics

Infinite Switchboard 

AGERE CONTRA” is a Latin word meaning “Act Against”; We can be attached to patterns of behavior that seemingly make us feel safer, be they our insecurities,doubts, or unwillingness to be pulled out of our comfort zones. They prevent us from living our lives fully and prevent us from discussing our full potentials. Agere Contra helps us to confront those things that hold us back from such freedom; better yet, it helps us discover our full potentials. 

AGERE CONTRA

The thoughts we allow to hover and cloud our mind, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and emotions begins gradually to blur our vision to what we see and thereafter limit the sight of what we see. What do we hear amidst the chaos? Do we pay attention to the echoes from the broken world or search within our soul to follow our intuitions. What then do we have in conformity or convictions?. The muse in the visuals of this artwork represents the character in the artist and is symbolic to his lifestyle with metaphors and criticism. This piece is inspired by a piece from the artist’s collection “Freedom not free” ‘Hunters angels and demons’ and listed as NFT. Created with a ballpoint pen and ink on paper

INSCRIBE

A symbolic art piece dedicated to celebrating Africa and it’s history.

The worldwide collection of black communities descended from native Africans or people from Africa , predominantly in the Americas.Which is mostly due to the descendants of the west  and Central Africans who where enslaved and shipped to Americas via the Atlantic slave trade  between the 16th and 19th centuries and due to North Africans who immigrated to order part of the world .So it is important to remember and celebrate this part of history because through their adversity ,with the strength of perseverance they broke free from their captors and colonial masters.

The portrait of of the model Nyadak Duckie is use as an embodiment of Africa.
Which portrays African tribe, beliefs, achievement ,black identity and the expression of celebrating Africa through patterns & symbols. 

The symbols on the piece are African symbols  from Ghana named Adinkra.
The Strength, freedom and unity in diversity are the three  symbols hovering on the portrait, which are the distinct features of Africa from my artistic view ,being the strength to break free to independence ,the courage and cooperation to exist in harmony despite the differences.
Which shows that despite all the difference in tribes ,culture,religion and ethnic groups the Africans can still  live in harmony and  a known fact that they have been some struggles but at the end of the day we are still one Africans when it counts most.

BEAUTY" while we could spend the entire time talking about the natural beauty of Africa, there is nothing more beautiful about a place than its people. Unlike the popular belief " not all people in Africa share the same language or culture, Africa is home to thousands of tongues and different cultures down to all the unrest and corruption echoing in the lands trying to tear us apart. The art piece still shows unity as the birds are still living together on the sames branches with the same roots, looking into the beauty of one another is What keeps us going, surviving every day to day challenges.

My focus on this art piece is expressing the current reality that we Youth are faced with. The society demands so much from us and this has caused so much pressure. the government has failed to provide stable employment and improve the quality of life, time is ticking, once it's lost, we can't get it back. In the strive to excel, we multitask ourselves, acquiring knowledge and skills in other to keep our breath. we try as much as possible to keep up with time  which is our greatest fear. I have come to understand that realities are inevitable, if we stop believing them they do not go away, they are to be experienced and we young Africans are experiencing ours
