The Last King of Hedon.

He abducted his throne,
set fire to his palace,
and walked away from the ashes.

Some kingdoms must burn
for the man to be truly free.

I wear a Shit ton of silver. Black linen. Maroon crushed velvet loafers, like I had somewhere important to be.
Truth is, me and mukky were just driving through Abuja.
My tummy pushing against my shirt. My throat still burned from the Moroccan tea I had that morning.
Then I remembered the time thugs were sent to my studio over some art.
Men ready to fight over something I created with my hands.
Maybe that’s what happens when you make something that means more to people than you ever intended.

“Get the Fuck out of my Head Part 3”
Preparation Sketch.

I genuinely believe every good artist must first master the art of drawing. Every artist must first become a great draftsman, because you cannot truly break the rules until you understand them.

And honestly, I’m still fucking learning taken in Kaduna South by @barasketchbook
