I am a graduate of the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and an MFA graduate from Towson University. I am currently a freelance illustrator. As an artist and an illustrator, I create my artwork digitally. Through it, I am able to expand my visual horizon by creating vibrant characters and mark-makings. Each with a unique world to help drive the narrative to its destination. I’ve illustrated different kinds of narratives focusing on the sequential element. The narratives I am drawn to come from personal experiences and outside inspirations. I am very easy to get in contact with and enjoy working with all sorts of clients. I am available and very responsive to all emails. Thank you for paying a visit and if you have any questions, please contact me. I'll be very pleased to answer them. Hope you have a nice day. https://www.ikennaumeh.net/home daily 1.0 2025-09-18
