About Me
My Background
My Inspiration
My Background
I am an artist. As a little boy, I enjoyed catching fireflies and looking up at stars. They fascinated me. Whenever I look up to the sky, I made pictures out of stars by connecting the dots in my mind.

E. Bamisaiye Alao, my father, had the sort of majestic presence ascribed to a king. But when he smiled, it was as if a sunrise had blazed through the cracks of his gaped tooth, making his face magnificent. He enjoyed just being himself. Dad is my only hero and he inspired me to be the artist I am.
