More Nigerian magic!  Not sure what needs to be done for me to get an official Nigerian membership card, but i need one immediately!  Their weddings, make-up, fashion, and business / professional successes are constant inspiration; as Americans we can’t deny their flyness! I mean really, have you seen a Nigerian teach a make-up tutorial; how about a Nigerian wedding video and dress?  Not saying they do it better, but much respect to their unique fashion sense and their ability to be first generation Americans, but end up with million dollar brands and businesses. Anywho, enough gushing over Nigerian culture and more gushing over Nigerian born artist, Chiamonwu Joy and her hyper-realistic charcoal art.

Chiamonwu Joy has the internet in awe and in disbelief at how real her artwork appears.  She is a charcoal and graphite artist and has the internet questioning their own eyes at her detailed artwork. According to her interview with Face to Face Africa, “Joy uses her Igbo culture and the traditions present in the culture to inspire her artwork.”

Just check her out, these amazing images speak for themselves!
