Dear African Artist,
The biggest mistake you’ll make in your career is to let the opinions of collectors or other artists influence your work.
Don’t listen to whoever tells you your work isn’t “African enough”. Whatever your style, let your art flow from your heart. Amen?
This is 2023. I turn 32 in a few weeks, and whenever my birthday is near I take a moment to look back:
🪩 18 years of playing around with Microsoft Word, making art.
🪩 I hawked my work for 6 years, looking for opportunities as an artist.
🪩 6 years of art on the blockchain.
Thrilled to announce I've been selected for the prestigious Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Residency in Italy!
I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity to immerse myself in a creative haven and expand upon my "Forgotten Relics" series, which you may recall from my recent
“Different Shades of Water” made in collaboration with @154artfair and curated by Daria Borisova. All 5 NFTs will be auctioned at @ChristiesInc
The online auction starts on October 5 (10AM BST) through 19 (1PM BST). In addition to fiat, the works can be bought with ETH or BTC.
"The Redemption of Major Tom"
David Bowie’s (@DavidBowieReal) “Space Oddity” introduced us to Major Tom, the adventure-seeking astronaut who somehow got lost in space.

When the media make it look like the NFT space is all about the money, it breaks my heart. Because it makes a lot of people enter the space for the wrong reasons.
Between 2017, 2018 and a greater part of 2019, nobody in the space was all about the money. It was about sharing.
gm!
My firstever stained glass work, made during my residency at the Toledo Museum of Art.
Always thankful to the staff of the museum, including Jessica Hong who was curator of Modern and Contemporary Art there.
