 Segun Aiyesan self portrait         

He was born in Benin City, Nigeria on March 18 1971. The second child among seven children. I guess he was born an artist. His fascination with nature and colours started quite early. I can recall he said  fiddling with drawings and paints as early as four years old. As a young boy, he favourite hobby was collecting comics and trying to draw the characters. He also said he cannot remember his parents helping to develop his talent at any point, so it was particularly difficult for him since he did not get much encouragement. They, on the other hand tried to steer him in a different direction.
He loves art. It propelled him to be better at many other things he had to do alongside, since he was free to indulge in it, as long as nothing else suffered. His folks were glad it kept me busy and around. He never really realised a living can actually be made from art, so his development was actually channelled towards self-fulfilment rather than perpetuating a career direction. he went on to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. Nigeria. While there, he was at the same time keeping himself busy making and enjoying art. he inadvertently was preparing himself for a life as a professional artist, because by the time he graduated he was quite advanced in skill in artistic depiction. His is a totally self-taught artist and he has been at it professionally since 1997. He is resident and based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Isimi Taiwo.c

   Abayomi Barber Josephine.

ISIMI TAIWO his a native of Kogi state but born and breed in Lagos state, Isimi Taiwo has earned a BA degree for studying creative art in the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos in 2009. As a visual major, he works with different mediums like water colour, acrylic, ink, charcoal, etc. but his pencils and oils exhibit great strength in dexterity and control over the medium especially in the arena of portraiture. He can be said to be called a realist but he is also experimental by practicing other movements which he is also good at. He is greatly influenced and draws inspiration from artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Abayomi Barber but believes his greatest source of inspiration comes from God who he considers as the greatest artist ever.

He has had a few joint exhibitions and awards:

• Winner of the 17th Quadrangular games mascot and logo competition 2008

• Top 7 finalist of the Art Impossible Portrait competition 2011

• Final year exhibition creative art UNILAG 2009.

• 2nd GCI Art Festival UNILAG 2008.

• Art Expo, National Museum Exhibition 2010.

• The Miniature Art Fair TerraKulture 2010.

• The October rain SNA annual exhibition 2013.

He has been commissioned to execute several portraits of dignitaries like the Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, MD Lamata, C.E.O CFAO Motors Okoya Thomas, CBN governor Lamido Sanusi, Celebrities, etc. His graphical illustrations, wall mural, logo designs, animations etc. exhibits his versatility in the art. He is currently a studio artist and freelancer.

Awonda  means where are they? I don’t understand why this group of talented artist call themselves AWONDA, but in my opinion they don’t care what kind of idea you need or think, they will put it to visuals. These guys are multi-talented creative bodies and they do all kind of visuals but not just visuals, I got this gist from one aproko, a reliable source that they deal with voice-over as well. They use voice-over in the making of their animations. Yea talking about this illustration, is an eye opening to many artist on how they allow themselves to be exploited. It is very painful and shameful when the hunter get 1 piece of meat while the so called baba isale get the lion share. I agree its not an easy task for the share holders to invest but I think the cow that provide the milk deserves a fresh grass and water with care to continue and keep the living circle worthy. It is high time, a well measured weight of meat is channelled to the hunter. I beg the veterans who are head of creatives to stand up against the modern slavery in the creative world. or else the beautiful that has been born will remain ugly.
