I'm sorry I disappeared for such a long time. I was working as a makeup artist on a great new film, titled "October 1". It's set in 1960, and is an social-thriller. It had a great cast and crew, and though it was gruelling, I learned a lot.
I did makeup, special effects, prop-making, set-building and even learned what storyboarding and costuming were about. This experience highlighted how much an artist and an art student can do on a film and movie set. So many career choices.
The research was awesome and I met incredible people like Kunle Afolayan (a visionary director), Yinka Edwards (Cinematographer), Mr. Pat Nebo (former art teacher and legendary production and set designer), Victor, Jide, Yinka, Mike Steve, Kulanen, Susie Q, Dotun, Jacob and Ekpo and so many more people. It was an honour working side by side with these guys.
But I'm back to the blog, and we will talk even more about Nigerian Art, and its role in the world.
