ResumeResumeOlusola Akinseyeloved drawing as a child. He earned an A1 in

Fine Arts in his WAEC exams. He has since worked as an artist,

graphic designer, publisher, and writer. He has authored several

publications for young readers.

Although he is self-taught, Olusola Akinseye has drawn culturalinspiration from his physical and literary environment and infuses

the discipline of draughtsmanship from such illustration masters as

Norman Rockwell and J C Leyendecker. This combination of local

and foreign influences have given his art a unique quality much

appreciated and sought for by his clients.

As a graphic artist, he is competent in the use of traditional tools

of illustration: watercolours, gouache, pastels, oils, and graphite.

In addition, his studio is technologically up-to-date with the

newest addition of the Cintiq 12WX tablet set. Olusola Akinseye is

comfortable working in any form of 2D digital art and is an

accomplished vector graphics illustrator and designer.

Olusola Akinseye has worked extensively in educational and comic

book publishing. He has also serviced NGOs with rural women

development and pro-democracy agendas. He has demonstrated

the ability to understand and aptly interpret technical briefs and

abstract details. A quality he developed while earning a degree in

Mathematics and a post graduate qualification in Computer Science(University of Lagos, Akoka).

His list of clients include The Comics Hut, Lantern Books, CitiBank

Nig Ltd, Macmillan Publishers, and National Democratic Institute.

In 2004, a storybook he illustrated bagged an honourary mention

from the NOMA Awards jury. In 2007, he was short-listed for the

Astrid Lindgren Memorial Awards, Switzerland. In 2008, he was

awarded the Illustrator Award for Africa by Macmillan Publishers.

He manages a comic book studio in Ikeja

and an home-studio at Obawole, off Iju

Road, Lagos State, where he accepts

commissions on freelance basis.
