Deeds: What inspired your latest project ?
Ife: It’s very abstract and surreal with a lot of symbolism ,drawing inspiration from punk, afro futurism and manga to capture a dreamlike or reimagined reality.
Deeds: How did you get into your creative field ?
Ife: I’ve been making art since I was kid, from primary school to university, it’s always been a part of me. During the covid pandemic,I started a drawing a lot more and exploring other creative projects . I’ve been doing that ever since.
Deeds: Can you describe your creative process?
It’s very chaotic, intuitive and emotional.My mind is constantly filled w ideas fuelled by a certain feeling or interest at that moment in time.I strive to evolve and change, so do my concepts and techniques.When an idea stands out from the others,I try to capture it in my unique style, and once I feel like it’s finished,I move on to the next.
I typically use ink, charcoal and graffiti as a medium, also like listening to music particularly rock, electronic and alternative indie ,it helps me get into the mood I want to portray in a work.
Deeds: Are there any projects in the works that you would like to share with us?
Ife: Yeah, I’m currently working on releasing a zine and a few paintings next year
