My imagination has always been an incredible driving force in my life and has done and still does have influence on most everything I do . Taiwo Olawoore, the brain box of Clever T has been shaping the world of cartoons since 2017 with his unparalleled passion and talent. I immerse myself into the characters and environment, often sketching out a great scene with great emotion and gestures. Taiwo has established himself as a prominent figure in the Nigerian and scene earning acclaim for his innovative approach and creative vision.
It wasn’t recently, however, that I have thought about pursuing art as a career it’s been a dream my whole life, a dream that I never thought could really come true for me to be able to have a career in art is like winning the lottery. “My work as a cartoon artist is driven by my passion for storytelling and visual expression. Through my illustrations and animations, I strive to capture the human condition and convey messages that are humorous .
I draw inspiration from everyday life, from the mundane to the profound. I aim to create work that not only entertains but also challenges viewers to think and engage with the world around them.”My love for color, movement, and visual metaphors inform my creative process. I believe that laughter can be a powerful tool for connecting with others and provoking thought.
I am constantly exploring new techniques, from traditional pen and ink to digital illustration, to push my artistic boundaries and expand my visual vocabulary. Moreover, my goal is to create work that is both beautiful and meaningful, that resonates with viewers long after they have experienced it.” In my cartoons, I aim to challenge conventional wisdom and to offer fresh perspectives on everyday life. I use my art as a lens through which to view the world, to poke fun at society’s hypocrisies and contradictions, and to celebrate the little quirks that make us all human.
I take inspiration from the absurdity of the everyday, from the bizarre and the mundane alike, and from the social, political, and cultural issues of our time. My ultimate goal is to create work that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, that challenges us to laugh at ourselves and to see the world in new and unexpected ways. As a cartoon artist, I use humor, satire, and exaggeration to create playful, tongue-in-cheek representations of the world around me. My work is driven by a desire to find the ridiculous, the absurd, and the surreal in the mundane, and to turn them into relatable, often absurdist, commentaries on our shared human experience.
I believe that humor and laughter have the power to break down barriers, to expose uncomfortable truths, and to bring people together in a way that few other forms of communication. My process as a cartoon artist involves a combination of intuition, observation, and research. I begin by brainstorming ideas and themes, often taking inspiration from everyday situations or news headlines. From there, I sketch out rough ideas and work to refine and develop the concept.
Once I have a clear idea for the cartoon, I begin to flesh out the visual elements, using exaggeration and caricature to add to the humor and to make the cartoon more engaging and memorable.I believe that the success of a cartoon depends on its ability to capture a moment.
Ultimately, as we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is my hope that my work will provide a moment of laughter, a spark of understanding, and a reminder that, despite our differences, we are all in this together.My goal as a cartoon artist is to create work that resonates with people on a personal and emotional level. I want my cartoons to be more than just a quick laugh; I want them to spark thought, discussion, and reflection. Cartoons’ drawing illustrates and defines amplifying voices, shedding light on marginalized communities, and highlighting critical social issues.
