This pencil drawing is an ode to one of Nigeria's own, the renowned novelist and poet, Chinua Achebe. Though faced with challenges in a Nigeria grappling with the effects of colonialism, Achebe remained undaunted in his pursuit of artistic expression. He believed that the stories of Africa and its people deserved to be told by Africans themselves, and through his pen, he breathed life into a vibrant literary tradition that continues to inspire writers around the world.

His seminal work, "Things Fall Apart," also his masterpiece, stands as a testament to his deep understanding of the complexities of human nature and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of cultures that make up the African continent. This drawing is a humble tribute to Achebe's immense legacy and his role as a pioneer of African literature.
