WHO WE REALLY ARE
During my undergraduate days, a coursemate told me something so funny.
She said to me that very day.
" Angello, are u on instagram?"
"yes", I replied.
" Did u c a drawing of Banky W one guy did for him and Banky W gave him money, jz draw like Olamide or Wiskid and they would give you money".
I thought within mysef that people would say artists are not normal, bt to we artists, we think the other people are not normal because the ways at which we both think are far apart.
Now this is it. Is there any artist here on Facebook or whoever may be reading this that has ever drawn all the artistes in Nigeria?, Has any artist drawn everybody in the world? Has any artist drawn an Artiste twice and gets the same amount of money twice?
Now listen good, there are more people out there than artistes, comparing the ratio of their population to the world.
Don't get me wrong, I never find fault in painting or drawing artistes because only the future knows what my nxt painting would be.
My fellow painters and artist, dnt let's start a competition on who paints any musician better than the others lest they see us as hungry people. Let's find joy and happiness in wat we do, let them come to your studio and beg to buy that concept, that feeling, that thought of yours or that fear of yours hanging on ur wall in your canvases.
Artists are rear natural resources any country could get, even the world without us would be ooopz!
Now get this, "WHEN GOD SAID, LET'S CREATE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE, HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ARTIST LIKE HIM" (Awosola Angello'15)
Let's pick up our pencils and brushes splash your canvas with colors or scribble those lines on you paper, get people confused, and make them beg to be released from the artistic spell you have placed upon them by confusion.
- TO EVERY ARTIST IN THAT STUDIO.
