Hello, curious cat.
Curiosity killed the cat. Fortunately, cats have nine lives. You've just spent one.
- 8 lives remaining -
I'm Akua. Artist. Expert daydreamer. Retro enthusiast.
I've always had a soft spot for old cartoons, vintage comics, pulp illustrations and pin-ups. Somewhere along the way I became convinced I was born a couple of decades too late.
My drawings are full of glamorous Black women and femme fatales, witches, ghosts, ghouls.... and whatever else I feel like drawing when I pick up my pen.
All my art is hand-drawn, and my characters have better eyeliner than I do... and my eyeliner is pretty good.
Essentially, I'm creating the art I wish existed.
My art is a love letter to the weird, awkward Black girl who rarely saw herself reflected in the worlds she loved.

My solution to every creative idea is to make it pink, spooky, or both.
Anywho, thanks for stopping by. Have a look around... just remember you're already down to eight lives.
