About the Artist

Full name: Kingsley Ugochukwu Ikekpeazu Artist name: D'Kings Artistry

Drawing has always been what I've been known for right from when I was a little boy. In my primary school, I had always stood out when it comes to drawing. I remember teachers always reached out to me to help them draw certain subjects on cardboard that they need for class lessons. I was fund of drawing cartoon characters, comics and animal characters.
It was clear that abilities with the pencil is a gift from God. Talents always align with destiny, so I was not willing to waste it away even though the system I grew up in tried so hard to make me feel my talent is useless, I've decided to harness my gift to the fullest even though I grew up in a society that doesn't value art, that tells you drawing is nothing more than a childhood hobby. So here I am, determined to change that narrative, even though I studied Engineering in the university I started trying to professional in my 200 level in campus by drawing commissioned works for my fellow students and anyone else that appreciates art. My early years as a pro artist wasn't easy at all as I found my self in a society that downplay artworks but however I kept pushing and finally I have decided to do more than just commissioned works and start using my craft to share my message and philosophy with the world and to tell my story.

Artist statement: I want to use charcoal, graphite, pastels, color pencils and more to create something different, new and to share my story with the world
