@Mz_Reedah

One of my sketches, she approved of it, thank God. I like the picture, she looks foreign in the sketch, and that's the unique thing about the sketch, and o, the eyes....
 
 

My Sister...

My sister, is the only sis I've got. That being said, she's a final year student of law in Benue State University, I sketched her because she was ready to pay, and people from her university were doubting that she pays. Very annoying, well, this is the sketch.

Jaiye Jaiye Master without his shades!

Wizkid, as y'll know is the most booked artiste of the year, hence, he aint got time to actually move around without his shades. Paparazzi have some really bad cameras nowadays though. Well I'm guessing the picture was during a photo shoot, great fashion sense to from the star boy. Check it out.
 

@gamusCHIGGY

She really wanted me to sketch her, it was humbling. Hence, the sketch... I like it because she does to... The picture I sketched was gotten from her Avi.

Nicole and Sis

Nicole is a student of my school, my colleague in fact. Nicole is Valeo Photography and her junior sis is also in the sketch. I stumbled on the picture when I was surfing my pictures on my pc. It was fun sketching the picture, I liked it because there are two people in it, and it could be challenging, I love challenges. Check it out.

@TiwaSavage Mentioned me On Twitter ^.^

I'm excited about this sketch of Tiwa's O NI BA JE Soundtrack cover because she mentioned me to say thanks. I was elated and really glad. Her ONCE UPON A TIME album is really jamming 2. The sketch is approved by the owner...it's really cool...

ASA

Asa has been epic for some years now... I love her music and her face structure isn't far away to... I really enjoy her videos, especially "Be My Man", really colourful and all. I sketched her though, I think it came out alright, I mentioned her on twitter, se hasn't replied  though, she is a very busy lady, her commendation will be awesome for me.

Why a blog?




One evening, during a conversation with Thelma, we discussed the issue of a blog. I gave it some thought, and decided to do that, since, as she pointed out, was "free". I really like freebies, not the issue sha, I sketched her.

Juliet Ibrahim.

Jide said she is his celeb "crush". I dunno, he said I should sketch her, I did, not much to it... I think she's quite pretty.

Logo idea...

Was playing in murky waters (photo-shop) sometime ago, since I had just discussed a logo with Amarachi, I just free-styled this. I don't know how it is but it's a start... by the way it is a sketch. :)

KKzzy...

Kosiso is my long time pal, and a student of my school, just sketched him some minutes ago... I think it's cool...

Tonto Dikeh.

Actress turned Artiste, Tonto Dikeh has taken the Nigerian music world by storm, she has haters though, who doesn't. I respect her dynamic approach to the entertainment industry. She just shows us that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it. I saw a really pretty pic of hers and I sketched it, really fashionable.

Talking about Avatars...

@Miss_Raychel has one of those Avatars that just inspires you, you know. She has a sis in my class though, got me more inspired to sketch her Avi. When I showed her, she said she would prefer that it was edited instead of sketched... I was like (0.o)!?

President Barack Obama

 

I was web surfing, when I saw the cover of TIME Magazine, President Obama was on it, apart from the fact that it was a really great picture.  Mr Obama is a great pioneer, as the first black President of the United States of America. Kudos to him, repping blacks and lawyers ^.^

@amykazzi

Amarachi is more of an innovator, she gave me the idea of my logo, and she offered more professional assistance, with making it more official, I haven't really appreciated her well enough,if you know what I mean. She is a media student in my University, so she knows about all this stuff. She is in the sketch, which I felt was a challenge for me, because of perspective I, besides, love challenges.



Mr V.I.P.

You know it, it's Ice Prince Zamani, Choc city's hottest rep @ the moment. He recently received an award from BET as the Best African Act of the year, it's a congratulatory sketch. I got the pic from Linda Ikeji's blog. Mr V.I.P.!!

Controversial...

 

This is Oge, she's a law student/model, I say model because I have seen a lot of her shots, she's really pretty you know. She predominantly models for Valeo Photography. This sketch has a brief story behind it. After I posted it to twitter, and I had mentioned Oge, You know, I didn't know how popular she was. People attacked my sketch, and she might have felt that it wasn't fair what I did, I'm sorry again, but I might have made her look more serious than she was in the sketch. The truth of my sketches is that they do not have to look exactly like the person, but it is about the quality. It's just like a professional shot from a photo artist. Also, a shout out to Oge, I recently saw her name on a list of the hottest freshers in Afe Babalola University of 2012/2013. Really cool, that.

UNILAG well repped.

 
Ore and Moyo are UNILAG students, this is good news because it means that we are Unational. Well, they are both really pretty girls, trust me, it was fun sketching them. Most of all, I loved how much they appreciated my effort, thanks ^.^

Dennis and Nancy.

Dennis and Nancy modeled wears made by a designer in Afe Babalola. I'm kicking myself now for not remembering the designer's name. Anyways, Dennis is a law student, my colleague, he liked the sketch. Nancy, who is reading International Relations and Diplomacy didn't like that I didn't equal the loveliness of her lips in real life in my sketch, and I'm sorry, again. I believe it was a good sketch generally, what do you think?

Rihanna.

I love Rihanna a lot, and my roommates can attest to that. One time I left Stay on repeat for like 4hrs, they didn't get too pissed because they are correct guys, besides they have now learnt the whole lyrics. Also congrats to Rihanna who since broke the record of most no 1's on the U.K. Top 200 Chart.

Lade's frown.

Lade is Jide's cousin, or so he says, he told me she agreed that I sketch her. Honestly, I was shocked, reason being that sometimes according to Jide, I snub her and she, hence, doesn't like me so much. I don't believe that anymore though. Forget this sketch of mine o, Lade smiles a lot, and is a very friendly person, but she frowned a little in this sketch. Maybe someone frustrated her that day, no one knows... maybe Jide will know.
 
 

Jide again.

You will be surprised how many times this guy's name is going to appear, he has really annoying ways of persuading me, well, this is his story. He has been bugging me to sketch him, but I said I don't sketch boys... couldn't uphold that statement because its the guys that are spending for the girl and it's the guy that will need my services to ask a girl out. Anyways, I sketched Kunle, Jide's friend, and it was good. So after Jide threatened me that he wont promote the label again, I agreed to sketch him. In my own honest opinion, Kunle oppressed Jide, from the two sketches you'd know. N.B:  Jide isn't as fair as I portrayed in the pic, he's an I.T.S. (if you know what that means) student, a governor for that matter. Well, fuck him.


Kemi ManCity.

I appreciate beauty, and it's proven through research that people tend to use some of the pics they like most as a twitter Avi or header. Well, in school, something happened, I followed Kemi on twitter, she didn't follow back, I don't blame her, I wont follow myself back. All the same, I liked her Avi, so I saved it and sketched it when I got home... Nobert, you pipe, I aint a stalker ;p.

Frances.

Ahhh... Frances, a fresher in our school, after I sketched her, she was like "Awwwn... so cute did u do that?" I was like yeah and all, she then progressed to using it as her dp, she updated her status that look at what Versh did. The truth is that, while I was feeling my self, she came back and told me that she knew it was an app that did it and she only updated her status to make me feel good. Ouch! That hurt.

Mayowa and Elizabeth's pic.

Mayowa and Elizabeth are students in the college of medicine, trust me I don't know much about them because we are not on a jisting basis, nevertheless, I sketched them cos I really liked the swag their pic had. In fact, it was the night I saw the pic that I sketched it, I know Elizabeth is Nobert's friend from the basketball court and she speaks Queens English, Mayowa has a nice figure, had to see for my self.  I've even asked Nobert to introduce me, Nobert refused, slyness.

Ndienye and the Stairway to Heaven.

Ndienye is my guy o, an engineering student in my school whom is quite more studious than an average guy. Nevertheless, he knows how to have some fun. After I had done his engineering drawing assignment, he came back with a score that was below my standard, anyways, I didn't only draw for him. The point is he told others that I did it for him, so one lady in his department told him to request that I draw the two lovebirds in the cast of that Asian series: Stairway to Heaven. I did, for free, because he begged me to. The thing is that, Ndienye is a psycho most of the time. The girl actually told him to tell me to draw "a stairway to heaven". Yes, he did it again, lol.

Jide's Wahala

So, if you have read my first post, Jide's name is there. He is my best friend (no homo), well he disturbs me a lot, especially when he likes a girl. So there was this unfortunate girl he liked. She was in 300 and we were in 200 at this time. He sha bugged me to draw the girl on numerous occasions, I did, a lot of times, she is the lady in the first post, her name is Riri, or her nickname I guess... not too sure. The pic is that of her and her sis tho, they are cute together.
 
 


That day in Class...


There was this day in class, one of our boring law lectures... I usually pass time when I'm bored with something by sketching, so I took my biro and did this at the last page of my note. It's a student in my school (Afe Babalola) her name's Ini, she isn't there anymore tho. What I like about this pic and you guys should like to is that it was imaginative, sketched with a biro, which is a first for me... Most of all, for once it actually looks like her... my sketches don't turn out looking like the person.

The Very First time...

Well, the very first time I thought of the #RidicSketches concept, was when I realized that I didn't really have a good phone, you know, something to call my own. Besides my mates in school were making big bucks from their parents and all. I'm not that privileged and all that. So  I thought, why not just start something, because earlier in my life, in secondary school, I did comics sold them at exorbitant prices (sorry buyers) and I made cool money, which I ended up using to buy doughnuts and other snacks (what can I say? I was young and I liked food... lol). What I'm driving at is that, I made money, so why not do it on a larger scale, honestly, I haven't blown yet, but I'm sure one day... I'm still promoting the label and always telling my best friend, Jide, to retweet the label on twitter. I believe I will have a fan base... eventually. The pic is one of my earlier works.
