As an amateur illustrator/animator who took Lagos traffic as the classroom to teach himself how to create illustrations and animations, I am often astonished at the end of each year to see how much has been done.

2020 was indeed a very different year for this side-passion (@trafficdoodles) of mine; I didn’t have the luxury of being stuck on the roads for constant inspiration, and the world as we all knew it seemed to be spinning off its axis.

Oh well! what can I say; it’s been one hell of an eventful year, but the upside for me was promising to Stay Curious through it, which helped me evolve the illustrations/animations from only the Assembly App to Procreate and even Looom.

Do look through the compilation of work done this year and see if you can spot a number of events that have shaped the narrative of our existence forever.

Lucky fingers crossed 🤞🏾 as we go into 2021.

When I started Trafficdoodles as a project, I was just repurposing my hours of being held up in Lagos Traffic to experiment. I ended up learning to illustrate and animate to a reasonable extent (from total newbie level).

So it was a surprise when I got contacted by Pixiteapps, the developers of Assembly; the app I use for my daily illustrations, and they said I was selected to feature amongst 10 Creatives across the globe creating content with their mobile app. They wanted to introduce me to the larger group across the Creative community and even let my story inspire a number of people( can you imagine, tiny little me).

I actually did this interview/feature last year while commuting to work and seeking inspiration (All thanks to the awesome team at FlowTown Films, Thanks MoDMaN). Do see my video feature below and also check out the other brilliant people across the world expressing their creativity in beautiful ways.

Also check out and follow @Trafficdoodles on Instagram to see how much I have improved over time and give yourself a daily dose of Lagos Traffic inspiration. Although, you might not see daily content at the moment, since the world in on lockdown and I haven’t had the luxury of being stuck in Traffic.

Do StaySafe, StayHome & StayCreative.
