Good day everyone and welcome to my blog. It’s been a while since we had an episode of the “Interview”, well let me just say the wait was very worth while. Today, I’ll be introducing another wonderfully talented artists that goes by the name of Jeffery Appiatu. My previous interview with Ken Nwadiogbu was Amazing!!! this is another that I’m sure would blow you away. By the time you see his artworks, you’ll probably be wondering where I came across this stunning Artist, so let me answer that. It was during one of my many episodes of art searching. What really made him stand out was his technique and the amount of detail his artworks had. Till now I’m still fascinated about his technique, how he is able to achieve that look for his art. The answer to my question is between our talented artist and God but it’s time to get the answer to the question you’ve been asking since. “When do I get to see his artworks?” Well, right now:
