Asiwaju II (with @blckship of Pretty.Ugly.Things) Some are to the manner born, others cultivate the qualities; some have it thrust upon them. Whatever the case, a leader commands the respect of those he leads. He voices the thought and his followers echo
emblazoner: inspired by afromysterics ink met an artist called laolu who predominantly uses ink for his works. it aroused my interest and fascination in the use of ink as an art medium. his works are characterised by intricate details and designs combined with symbols to tell stories. mine on the other hand is jst a reflection of my interest in his work. check out his blog afromystericsart.tumblr.com
