African-Inspired Halloween — Creative Digital Art
I wanted to combine the spooky atmosphere of Halloween with the beauty of African-inspired patterns, bold colors, and creative visual storytelling. My goal is to create an original design that brings together African cultural inspiration and the fun of Halloween.
This project represents my passion for African culture, digital creativity, and learning new creative tools.

What happens when fashion becomes part of a painting?
Inspired by 17th-century Dutch paintings from the Getty collection, I created a custom style in Recraft to explore the relationship between fashion, art, and visual perception.
From patterned floors to velvet curtains and spotted horses, each look blends into its surroundings, blurring the line between clothing and the world around it.
Created for the Contra × Recraft Archive Style Challenge.
A Halloween type study. One line, eight typefaces, eight ghosts. Each frame holds the same words and composition while the letterform, palette and figure change, from blackletter to dot-matrix to brush script.
I designed every frame in Figma, then used AI image-to-video to hallucinate the transitions between them, so the type melts, drips and reforms into the next face while the ghost dissolves into smoke and re-forms. The result loops like a bad dream that keeps changing its mind.
Made for 31 October.
From 1799 to the wireless age.
An archival illustration by Edward Donovan meets a cricket with wireless earbuds. This before-and-after shows the inspiration behind The Natural History of Digital Habits, created in Recraft.
