An Ilu Ologun from the series; their name literally means drum warrior. I went for a more dynamic pose with this one.

Jeeb: Nadjib 'Jeeb' Assani was born in France and traveled extensively as a child; spending time in Benin, Ivory Coast, Canada, Maryland and finally North Carolina. Everywhere he went though, he always had a sketchpad with him. As a result, Nadjib developed a passion for illustration and telling stories. When choosing a career, he decided on NC State’s Design School, subsequently earning a B.A. in Art and Design program. Afterwards, Nadjib traveled to California to take classes at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects. Once he finished there, he worked as a freelance artist, doing illustrations, graphic designs and animation both 2d and 3d. But Nadjib couldn’t abandon his passion for creative art that displays a positive message (through stories, animations or sculptures), so he decided to come back to NC to found a company that would allow him to do just that! Now he has recently published a book from his first series, Legends of Onile and teaches conceptual sculpting classes at the Art Center. Additionally, he works freelance while Ilu Works grows.
