omg hi welcome back… yk i started following you in 2017 from a gorgeous portrait which i’ll never be able to find now, but the use of bright contrasting colours and exaggerated features hugely influenced the work i was doing at the time! i was in high school, i remember my art teacher didn’t like it 😭 anyway hope you’re well

omg hiii 2017…. u’ve been following me since i was 16 😭 we are tethered

how do you manage balancing work life with your art? Did you ever dream of going to art school? Or did you always know you wanted art to be separate from work?

tbh it’s hard. i don’t think i have a handle on it yet. i already don’t draw / create for months at a time so it was an ok adjustment for me but a lot of times when i actually do want to make something, im never able to find the time for it. i find that im only ever able to work on something when im neglecting something else (work, sleep, weekends, etc.) … so im still learning too LOL

i’ve always been pretty firm on not wanting to mix art and work. it didn’t seem realistic for me, and i can easily see myself being burnt out given, again, i don’t create for months at a time. to me, art should be something fun. and i know trying to make a career out of it would strain my relationship with art so i actively chose against going to school for it.

i think i landed on a good medium. i went to school for marketing instead and got lucky enough to land a marketing position, where i’m still able to be creative. my interest in art gave me leverage and put me in a unique spot within the team, as a lot of skills i learned from my hobbies surprisingly came in handy at work

if you’re asking because you want advice, i’m totally open to answering more questions :) if not thanks for asking anyway!! i enjoy these questions

forgot how white this website is and expected there to be more uproar about the US bombing my home country, nigeria, on christmas day. my mistake!

[endykelopaedia]

Sokoto state, a majority Muslim state in north-west Nigeria was bombed on Christmas day. It is still unclear how many bombs were dropped and where. Confirmed is a bomb dropped on a Mosque in Jabo, killing 5 people.

Trump has claimed that this is in retaliation of the "Christian genocide" happening in Nigeria, committed by "radical Islamists" of the ISIL (ISIS), and the specific choosing of Christmas day was to reify that this is a religious based retaliation.

This Christmas, I am in Nigeria. My family is majority Christian. We are without fear of being persecuted on the basis of our religion. So, what is going on?

There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Nigeria is a complex country that faces a lot of violence, exploitation and subsequent neglect from our government. But it is not Christians being targeted in our country. This insidious piece of misinformation has been dutifully organised by US officials for months and gained steam on platforms like X and Truth Social.

I do not believe though, that this action was done to fight Islamic terrorists or protect Nigerian Christians. The reason being:

Sokoto state is not a state with ISIL activity.

This is another display of US throwing its weight around, conveniently, onto the most oil-rich country in Africa.

Do not believe everything the US tells you about its foreign affairs. The US will gladly spill blood on the flimsiest of justifications just to continue gorging its empire.

Please keep love in your hearts for the Nigerian people.
