An artist risking everything to speak truth to power. Fela Kuti’s fight isn’t just history. It’s a mirror to our world today.
Huge love to @jibolastudios and @therealconor for bringing this to life. The Eisner and Ringo nominations are well earned.
Pick up this book.

Thank you @newyorkcomiccon for an incredible birthday weekend. Both for the Con, which turned 20 (and if we fudge the dates a little), for the incredible Fela Kuti.
@jibolastudios - thanks for taking me on this incredible journey.
(And thanks to all the families that actually came over when I told them they looked like people who'd want to read a story where kids get eaten #thelastwitch)

So, Fela had this cool quote where he talked about how people who abuse power are like: 'Men in Empty Suits'. The way you show everyone that they're naked is by laughing at them.
So maybe it was serendipity that @joshjohnsoncomedy stopped by the booth. 'Cause dude is a genius at using humour to take down the dumb-asses who want to try to run our lives.
(Also, he's as polite in person as you'd guess, and his crew are the nicest people too).

Some rooms have history. This one has plenty of it.
@therealconor and I had the pleasure of speaking about Art as Resistance at the historic E.W. Miller Branch of the Jersey City Public Library @jclibrarynj
For nearly 50 years, this space has been a home for conversations about Black art, music, culture and liberation. Felt pretty special bringing Fela into that tradition.
Huge thanks to Reggie Blanding and the entire Jersey City Library team for making us feel so welcome. And to the community for showing up, engaging and keeping the conversation alive.

@newyorkcomiccon begins. @jibolastudios and I spent day 1 in Jersey City meeting some incredible community members, and organizers, and talking about Fela's legacy of resistance.
Today, come by Artist Alley H09 to find us and say "hey" (and make fun of Jibola for forgetting our banner!)

Up, up, and away!
Thank you to my love, @crystalluxmore for organizing this late summer birthday surprise.

For Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, music was never a mere evening diversion or harmless lounge entertainment—it was an uncompromising weapon meant to expose state corruption and arm people with a dialectic for resistance. 🎷🇳🇬⚡️
In the stunning graphic novel Fela: Music Is the Weapon, Toronto-based writer @therealconor and artist @jibolastudios translate that restless, fiery spirit directly onto the illustrated page. Rather than offering a standard music biography, the creators weave Yoruba mythology, dream sequences, and Afro-futurist visions through Kuti's historical journey—from his formative years in Los Angeles to his influential bond with his activist mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and the creation of his radical Kalakuta Republic. Fagbamiye’s vibrant visual tapestry blends traditional painting, digital design, and propaganda art to capture both the seismic energy of Afrobeat and the tragic weight of state brutality. It’s an unsparing, humanizing portrait of a flawed revolutionary who refused to let tyranny have the last word.
Which musician or artist do you feel best used their craft as a genuine force for political or social change? Let’s trade stories below. 👇

Had a blast in Houston. @canadasoccer should be proud of the performance. For the first 55 odd minutes the Moroccan fans couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Thanks to @stuthebaptist for coming on the trip. We met some great people, ate FAR too many enchiladas, and managed to squeeze in a BONKERS baseball game on the way by.
4 more years Canada - we'll be back in the Round of 16 and beyond!

I rarely get a day to myself when on the commenting circuit, but the stars aligned in Chicago and so I treated myself to an afternoon at the @artinstitutechi
Turns out they have some PRETTY good stuff.

Jet-lagged, but heading to Chicago for the @americanlibraryassociation annual meeting.
Librarians are basically the best people. Well educated, well read, into weird shit. Funny as hell.
I can't wait to say hello to new friends and old!

Hello #thebeach and #Leslieville friends, if you want to grab a copy of The Last Witch or Fela in the hood, the good people at @colesbeaches have SIGNED copies now.
Roll on through!

It's been a minute @torontocomics. Thanks for having me back after a few years away.
It was amazing to see so many familiar faces, and to meet so many awesome new people.
(And @jibolastudios we forgot to get a picture together AGAIN - but you absolutely killed it this weekend. I'm so glad we get to go on the Fela journey together)
