Rema Into The Rave Dimension
Fan art tribute to Rema's HEIS era. The concept: don't paint a portrait, build a world. The result is a cyberpunk Afrorave visual that places Rema inside a neon dystopian dimension built entirely from the emotional frequency of his music.
The piece blends fisheye tunnel distortion, chromatic aberration, heavy film grain, and aggressive neon magenta lighting to create an atmosphere that feels simultaneously ancient and from the future. Lagos meets Blade Runner. Afrorave meets the end of the world.
Style: Cyberpunk · Afrofuturism · Digital Photo Manipulation

A cinematic digital illustration tribute to YBNL Nation, one of Nigeria's most influential independent record labels, and the legacy its founder, Olamide, has built since 2012.
The concept: a Throne Room composition featuring Olamide seated as the architect of the label, surrounded by his signed artists Fireboy DML, Senth, DJ Enimoney, and B-Banks. Every visual decision, the lighting, the environment, the neon YBNL logo at the apex, was designed to tell a single story: one man built a kingdom.
Created using AI image generation for individual character development, composited and finished entirely in Adobe Photoshop with full colour toning, cinematic lighting, and post-processing effects.

Yankee's Buns & Wings had the right personality, but it just wasn't showing up that way online. I designed a complete social media rebrand concept covering creative direction, graphics, copywriting, and a full brand document. Every design was anchored in the brand's deep red and signature yellow, paired with bold visuals and Gen Z-coded copy built to stop the scroll.

Mavin Records Artist Roster Reimagined
A self-initiated character design and digital compositing project featuring the full Mavin Records artist roster, 12 figures, and one cinematic studio world.
Each character was individually conceptualised and designed using AI-assisted generation combined with hands-on creative direction from styling and pose selection to outfit design and visual identity. Every detail was intentional. The final composition was assembled in Adobe Photoshop, with a custom-built background designed from the ground up to hold the full cast in a single, cohesive scene.
This project demonstrates what I bring to every brief: a clear visual concept, disciplined execution, and the ability to manage a large-scale creative production from idea to final output.

Jazzy's Burger is one of Nigeria's most recognized food brands, founded by music mogul Don Jazzy. With over 236,000 Instagram followers, locations across Lagos, Abuja, Benin, and Port Harcourt, a dedicated ordering app, and a product that speaks for itself, the brand has built something genuinely impressive. But a review of their social media content revealed a clear gap between the quality of the product and the quality of the visuals representing it. This project was my response to that gap.
The Challenge: To develop a new creative visual direction for Jazzy's Burgers' social media presence, one that matches the brand's ambition, elevates its aesthetic, and positions it alongside global food brands in terms of content quality. No brief was given. No client commissioned this work. The challenge was self-imposed, which made it both harder and more honest.
