Have you had a bad experience with a customer?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes I have, depending on the situation. Some customers can be very rude just because they have paid, they feel like there is a magic button where I can press and they get the drawings instantly. The second experience would be my fault in the sense that sometimes I don\u2019t deliver the drawings early enough which would make customers demand their money back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do you feel most creative?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel most creative when I listen to music because music and art goes together; it makes me flow with the drawings and it is relaxing to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What year would you say has been the best since you started this career?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started professionally in 2018, but I would say my best year yet is 2020. I remember that period was the time of the COVID-19 pandemic where people were indoors but started socialising on the internet more. Since my business is social media or internet based, I got a lot of customers during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How rewarding is this job to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My job is really rewarding to me because most of my clients are abroad. People abroad appreciate my type of drawing compared to those in Nigeria. From this art I have been able to sustain myself and provide for myself and family since I started in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is success to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think success is a situation when I am relaxed. That is, I don\u2019t have any pending job at hand and the money keeps rolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also define success as being the go-to person when it comes to digital illustrations or digital drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
