In 1999, I formed Griot Enterprises, a publishing company and creative studio. I also created its flagship property, The Horsemen, which was a critical success when it came out in 2002. The first Horsemen volume, Divine Intervention will be out in 2010. I was also the Lead Writer and Art Director on Hip Hop Chronicles for Spacedog Entertainment in partnership with Universal Music Group. I’m currently working on The Horsemen: The Book of Olorun and Outworld: Return of the Master Teachers for Griot Enterprises.
I’m currently an Associate Professor at the Illinois Institute of Art – Schaumburg, teaching courses in Animation and Video Game Design. I’ve been interviewed and name-dropped in various publications such as GQ Magazine and the New York Times and written articles for various magazines and online journals. I’ve also spoken at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and The Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
