A young Nigerian award-winning comic book artist and an Afrocentric creator whose works have been featured on both local and international platforms. He is the founder of Comics Archive Africa: The platform with the largest collection of independent African and black comics. He is also the founder of Unibadan Comic Convention; Nigeria’s first campus comic convention and now Comic Con Ibadan; the official geek and pop culture event in West Africa’s largest city. Presently working on his Comic book: Joguonmi, under his new founded production studio (We Are Erivic Productions), Erivic wishes to establish and showcase a new pattern of African comic book creation which he calls Afroblot. Afroblot (Afro: relating to people of Africa and Blot: a mark or stain made with ink) focuses on the use of strong black ink or colour, white, grey and red in comic book making and hopefully it’d distinguish African comics from comics from other parts of the world. WE ARE ERIVIC productions, is aimed towards helping indie comic creators and publishers (especially black and African publishers) make high quality comic books at more affordable rates. The studio is also projected to grow into a full fledged production and entertainment hub on the long run focusing on comics, animations, games, movies etc.
