Pixiteapps features Trafficdoodles

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.

Traffic Doodles

On a daily basis, I spend about 4 hours cumulatively commuting to and from work. Since I am stuck in Lagos traffic everyday, I'm constantly in search of new creative ways  to spend my time.  A large number of passengers are always glued to the screen of mobile phones, as I usually am, so I started using my travel time to sort of draw, based on everything experienced on Lagos Roads. Using the arrangement of basic shapes I tell the story of what I read,saw or heard while on my way, and I call them TRAFFIC DOODLES. I share them via twitter, and instagram daily.I have also compiled a number of them here for your viewing pleasure.  You can follow @trafficdoodles on Instagram to stay updated.
