i am papi, and am a comic creator. found about ur blog from google search. ive been working on my first comic book called "free souls" and its about young Nigerian super heroes, who are using their super powers to cause a positive and effective change within thier sorroundings. I got interested in your blog and would love to work with your company. I own my own company though, but i focus more on performing artistes, which is a strong background for the characters in Free souls. How can we move ahead, i plan to attend your next annual portfolio review, if you would please post a date for it on my blog. I hope you can go through my blog to know me a little better. Looking forward to working with you. By the way; your blog is very creative...it is so African, but still retains the catonish feel of a standard artwork. Keep up the good work...
