A Zillennial Nigerian artist and technologist, building meaningful experiences from Los Angeles.

Zil·len·ni·al

noun

A person born from 1998 to 2000. A small, elite group.

On national television.

FOX 11's Good Day LA visited my wall at The Other Art Fair, 3Labs, Culver City, during LA Art Week 2026.

Since then I've built an artistic practice featured by the BBC and exhibited internationally, from Art Basel Miami to the Insa Art Museum in Seoul.

My output spans from tactile drawings on paper, some portraits taking 100+ hours, to fully autonomous AI employees serving clients worldwide.

Patience took more than 700 hours of layered blue ballpoint. No eraser, no backspace.

Alongside the studio, I lead AI systems engineering at a marketing technology company.

Creativity is how we evolve. The same instinct that builds a drawing line by line builds the systems that carry ideas further.

Art taught me patience. Code taught me scale. Both taught me that the best work happens when you refuse to choose between beauty and function.

Two books carry the story the drawings tell: one a mythology, one a gathering of people.

The scapegoat that grew wings.

A visual mythology of exile, transformation, and the wings we grow in the dark. For the outsiders. The othered. The ones who survived.

The Human Project

Stories and symbols.

Illustrated narratives of remarkable people in pen and ink: everyday beauty, resilience and shared humanity.
