Henry Obasi |
|
 |
| |
|
|
| |
Born a long time ago, Henry Obasi studied Visual Communication at Central St.Martins, and came to the Public’s attention 4yrs ago with an ad campaign for Firetrap clothing. His career has gone from strength to strength, illustrating and designing for a wide range of Global clients from every sector of the market: editorial, music, design, fashion, and advertising.
Jobs of note are a series of animated stings for Channel 4’ s Digital Channel, rebranding NickelOdeon’s Nicktoons Channel as well as ad campaigns/design work for Orange Mobile, EMI and Kangol.
Creative director of newly formed youth agency Troublemaker Associates, he also finds time to participate in many exhibitions, including a solo show at Exposure PR in London, an installation in Carhartt Store in Newburgh Street as part of the CIA Summer Festival, a collaboration with Flink Design (Belgium) for the "UNUSED expo" in Antwerp with many of Europe's leading image makers, and Kangol's Summer expo.
Now he is taking a well deserved sabbatical from design to explore his first love of fine art printmaking and drawing, and to finish off his well overdue comic.

Jen-ism |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Having never got over failing her cycling proficiency, she vanished from her natural ecological niche in London in early 2005. Existing in foreign lands on a regime of trust in strangers, co-incidence, deformed unicorns and wandering she devised a methodic reasoning she defined as JENISM which has evolved into something visual.
Jenism migrated from the very northern coast of the United Kingdom where she hoped to escape devastation and to mourn morons in search of a wholesome existence studying Physics, Alcohol, Jungle survival and King Street only to find that she was impatient to do more and so returned to London in 2007.
General inspirations include smoke, gardens, light, voodoo, the universe and its dependencies with a slight fascination with the abomination and extreme attention to detail. Her work aspires to make connections between apparently unrelated thing, as does Jen. |
