Sef Adeola is partly inspired by African cave art and the textile traditions of Yoruba culture. His works use a lot of symbolism and he’s in love with short stories and poetry as much as he loves illustrating them. You can follow him on Twitter: @sefadeola and check his portfolio here: sefadeola.com.ng.

In most of the works for this issue, Sef tried to capture both specific and general themes that embody each emotion running through the individual stories. The color palettes are the artists’ but they also capture the different moods present in the story, making it a mesh of symbolic hope and perhaps future.
