ResumeResumeOlusola Akinseyeloved drawing as a child. He earned an A1 in
Fine Arts in his WAEC exams. He has since worked as an artist,
graphic designer, publisher, and writer. He has authored several

Although he is self-taught, Olusola Akinseye has drawn culturalinspiration from his physical and literary environment and infuses
the discipline of draughtsmanship from such illustration masters as
Norman Rockwell and J C Leyendecker. This combination of local

appreciated and sought for by his clients.
As a graphic artist, he is competent in the use of traditional tools
of illustration: watercolours, gouache, pastels, oils, and graphite.
In addition, his studio is technologically up-to-date with the
newest addition of the Cintiq 12WX tablet set. Olusola Akinseye is
comfortable working in any form of 2D digital art and is an
accomplished vector graphics illustrator and designer.
