Sitting in the airport after a protracted (and way overstayed!) working trip to Benin, with my head aching, belly growling and my phone ringing incessantly, I realised I had not drawn a wing in weeks.
I unzipped my bag, pulled out a sheet and drew the first thing that came to mind...flight!
I am often asked, why i draw angels and where it all started from (some wanted to know the list of my muses!) and the answer is always the same; Its my release valve. It's the only set of drawings I make that no client is waiting for. I started as a relaxing exercise (and they are lady angels for a reason!) and tried to represent an attribte in each angel i draw. There is ecstacy, anger, fury, love, seduction, war, hate, strength and more. Each angel means something to me and have been referenced from real life people (most times without their knowing it!)
