"Olubunmi Ojo’s here
Olubunmi Ojo in your house
Olubunmi Ojo will take a seat sit down
And no more scare
And say goodbye for all of being scare
Say goodbye Olulakima
Say goodbye for not safe for him
Olubunmi Ojo in your house
Say goodbye for Olu, au revoir dark
Olu keep practicing
Olu keep on practicing
Olubunmi Ojo’s in your house." -- OO
Olu's compositions emerge from a combined love of illustration and a diligent attention to detail. Pulling from a wide variety of cultural references -- from The Crow to Nikelodeon's Global Guts -- he meticulously creates a framework for his drawings with black ink, then applies rich color with a bed of repetitive colored pencil strokes, delicately filling each section with care.
Olu is also passionate about music, and some of his musical recordings can be heard on our Bandcamp page.
