All about ME!

Greetings!!  

I am Roger Okewole and 9ja Pop Art is a peek into my imagination!

INSPIRATIONS:  More than Dali, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein is my main artistic inspiration. I couldn't have been older than eight when Mom was showing me Lichtenstein’s works in World Book Encyclopedia. 

BEGINNINGS:  My parents bought a few of those thick coffee table art books with photos of the great paintings by Old Masters, alongside Greek and Roman sculptures.  I was studying anatomy and perspective from those books from a very early age.  My folks also bought me every age-appropriate comic book they could find, which truly unlocked my imagination.

I first exhibited in a gallery when I was about 11 years old.  I was designing costumes and banners for carnivals in Nigeria when I was in my early teens.  I was 16 when I got my first graphics job with an advertising agency in Lagos.

I worked as a graphic artist while at college in Nigeria and the USA. I did all this without a single day in art school.  My folks insisted I follow the "responsible eldest son" path and I got a Civil Engineering degree and an MBA.

Then things changed...After about a 10-year hiatus spent climbing the corporate ladder, I formed 9ja Pop Art to bring my artistic side back to life.

MEDIA:  I mostly use pencils, inks, watercolor pencils and computer graphics; I like to mix it up and my creative impulses tend to go in very different directions.  The only thing I never do is photobashing

I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I have!!!
