ABOUT SARAH is coming to LIFANIMA (apparently).I can still remember in 2022 when I went for my first LIFANIMA and I told myself my film would screen there. It did the next year (Tito's Tiger Book), but I was serving so I couldn't see it. But I'll definitely be here to see this.#LIFANIMA2026 #animation #nigeriananimation ABOUT SARAH has gone quite far this year. And it's gonna go much further. by @sameasdan

It's Valentines Day! And I figured today was as good enough a day to share a clip from my short film "About Sarah""About Sarah" follows our Narrator as he reminisces on a short infatuation he had for the titular character. At the beginning of the film he wonders if love is real. By the end he wonders if what he feels for Sarah is even love.This shot was made to be a subversion of the classic meet-cute. And I also just thought it was funny.Voices by @osh_la and @chimmychiji #africananimation #art #shortfilm #s16filmfestival by @sameasdan

Do you like mysteries? Do you want to read more Young adult stories set in Nigeria? Now you can do both?Introducing TOSIN JONES MYSTERIES, my personal substack where I post short mysteries focusing on Tosin Jones, a student detective at his secondary school. There are three stories up now.Comment JONES for a link to the substackTOSIN JONES & MIRIAMA girl comes to Tosin Jones, claiming her teacher has it out for her. The teacher comes to Tosin Jones, saying the girl is troublesome. Evidence supports both their claims, but maybe the truth is deeper than the surface.Comment JONES for a link to the substackTOSIN JONES & THE CANCELLED TEST Jimi Bankole had a problem. The smartest girl in his class claims he cheated of her and had his test cancelled. Tosin Jones is sympathetic, but all too aware of Jimi's reputation as a cheater. Is there a way to prove his innocence?Comment JONES for a link to the substackTOSIN JONES & THE TWIN MYSTERYThe phones of the teachers are being stolen. The blame falls on one of a pair of identical twins, both of which claim to be the good twin. Tosin Jones has to see through the deception and find the truth. Can he do so before break time?Comment JONES for a link to the substack by @sameasdan

WORDS OF RAINYou can't always speak into existence when it's convenient it seems.Virgin Mary is an African comic series that follows a naive, deeply religious young girl through her university life. The series asks questions of morality, religion, hypocrisy and the disconnect between the nature of God and how man relates with Him New comics every Thursday #comicstrip #africancomics #funny #speedpaint by @sameasdan
