Watch me as I make this beautiful piece for my artistic director, Shallom Matthew. I looked for a sound that expresses how hilarious and jovial he is, and luckily I found one 🤣.

And yes, I used the “Ondu leya” song by The City Choir — it still remains my favorite song from the Christmas carol last year!

Happy birthday, Ad Shallom matthew
Thank you for all you do, and most especially, thank you for yielding!

There’s something extremely special about this piece. Let me give you a brief story behind it.

Because I was so busy when I was making this portrait, I wasn’t thinking about content—otherwise, this would have made a very interesting one. Maybe I’d have done a voice‑over instead.
Nevertheless, here’s the story. .curry25 here is a very good friend of mine. We met at CDS and served two tenures as CDS excos: first, I was the PRO and she was the assistant project manager; the second, I was president and she was project manager.

For some reason, she fell in love with my art and decided to entrust me with a gift for her man—a customized scribble ballpoint‑pen portrait. It was unusual, since most people only want realistic work, but she just wanted something artistic. Trust me to deliver, and she was blown away!

She promised to commission me again because she loved her man’s piece so much. A few months later, she asked me to do the same for her mother. That’s a story for another day 😂—help me beg her in the comments to send me a picture of her mother’s work, and I’ll give you the full gist. The piece for her mother was totally amazing!

Now, her man reached out and wanted me to make the same kind of work I did for him and her mother for her. I didn’t argue—I knew she’d love it. The issue was that he wanted her in her NYSC uniform as a pop‑up gift, but all the photos he sent were not close‑ups. I picked one eventually and started working. I wasn’t satisfied because whenever she commissioned me, she emphasized making the portrait bold. I paused, discussed it with her man, and—guess what—he agreed and gave me free rein to do whatever I thought she’d love. As an artist, that’s the best thing ever 😂.

I had to erase everything I had done already to start from scratch.

At that point, it stopped being a simple commission and became a collaboration with her man to give her a mind‑blowing gift. I added her name “Steph” in scribble designs on her cloth and “PM” for project manager, since that’s how we grew closer.

As expected, she loved it soooo much. I mean, what’s not to love?

Moral: anything worth doing is worth doing well.

My friend—no, my brother from another mother —asked me to create something extraordinary for his friend. No pressure, right? I dove in and decided to go all-in with my signature art style. Let’s just say… it’s about to get legendary. Every piece keeps leveling up, and this one? It might be my favorite yet.
