KABU KABU


So Sean Wallace from Prime Books came to me for a cover for their new book.
We made the deal just yesterday, How amazing.

and thanks to Tim McCullough 
for helping me sort it.


The authorrrrr of the book is none other than Nneddi Okorafor.
American/ Nigerian, science fiction author
 and Professor of Creative Writing at Chicago State University, Illinois.







Whoopi!


This is my artwork for the cover
and a preview of what the book might look like. 




So I did the original painting when I was 16 / 17 years old
 (three years ago mann)
 and its  a scene in Lagos, Nigeria. 
And inspired by the wonder that is Nneka.


Anyway,
 time to celebrate!

Going to buy a new penny board!
