Abstract
Hello, My name is Ahmed Ipesa-Balogun (aka Mangaki, A, or A.I., it just depends on the day). I'm just your average, everyday neighborhood, drawing, story writing, enthusiast, with an interest in the world as it is AND as it isn't. This is a compilation of my thoughts, ideas, drawings, and 'what-nots' that happen to flow through my mind or through my pencil (pen, marker,etc). Now, everything you see won't be perfect but regardless, I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me into this compilation of my imagination. Who knows, you may stumble across something cool.

Purpose
This small creative production is a fun little way for me to display some my creative works, get a little exposure, and document some of my experiences as an artist, with the hope that I can pass on cool ideas to others like myself. I also hope to learn and gain from anyone willing to share their own constructive insights on things I can do better or cool art tips in general. Plus, art is a great way to connect with people, so there is that also!
Feel Free to comment anything! (oh i'm afraid to say that...let me rephrase) Feel free to share anything constructive. This website is a fun project for me, but I definitely want to improve as an artist and as a creator of creative work, so any constructive criticism is always welcome. Funny and goofiness is also acceptable.
Schedule
So up front, This is very much like a Sketch Diary, full of ideas and drawings that flow through me from the place where inspiration comes from. Also, just letting you know, during certain times of the year I will be on a sporadic/random posting schedule which I will call the "Tentative schedule". This is due to grad school, or extra shifts at work! The art doesn't pay rent yet!
So forgive me! But, like a boomerang, I always come back.
Mangaki Motivational Mondays
Every Monday I plan to post a quote that i hear, create originally, or am inspired by during my days.
Saturday Sketches
I want to try and push myself to start sketching even more freely, so I will challenge myself to sketch every Saturday morning and post! no matter how bad or good. I accept the Challenge!!
Studies
this Is also a new addition i wanted to try to implement. Essentially, I will be doing some full on studies of certain subject matters and posting my progress. They will be fairly intensive and focused, but also fun and experimental! Feel free to join along!
Watch FOR UPDATES!!
