Sunday Special

I'm a lover of art.
The mere fact of picking up a pen and sketching something amazing always has me in awe. And what's more amazing about Obinna is that he didn't even study this in school, he has a gift!

Today's post is on Obinna Omeruo!

 Fashion can never go out of fashion (pun intended lol), this however doesn't streamline his designs to fashion only. He's an embodiment of artistic designs.

I got curious about what he does so I asked him a couple of questions:
*What brought about this idea and in what year? The idea came from a need to express myself but at the same time add value to my surroundings. There was a need and I jumped right in. I would say 2010 because that was the first time I got payed for a project.

*I'm sure you've had challenge or two, care to share?
Lol! Like all entrepreneurial endeavors especially in Nigeria I face capital funding.

*How has the growth been generally?
Its been a steady growth which I thank God for. We also try to add new tricks here and there to keep our visuals alive. Doing things differently per time is a good way to ensure growth especially in the creative industry.

*The brand's driver?
The brand is driven by visual communication. Communication from designers to buyers, business owners to clientele etc. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so why don't I create amazing pictures that helps the brand to speak more.

*Illustrators emerge everyday, what set's you apart from them?
That's so easy. Everything sets us apart. Our thinking, our styles, our application...

*Do/did you ever feel like giving up? How do/did you get past it?
Yes I do feel like giving up when faced with challenges but I get spiritual encouragement and carry on. Besides its NOT life if everything is flatline smooth.

*There are people who look up to you, any word of advice? I would say your dreams are valid but take a cue from Joseph, grow a thick skin to survive the harsh days.

Here's one for the Game of Thrones fans!:

The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

List

As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...

Short story type of day

I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...
