A visual artist, graphic designer and illustrator with over 7 years experience, Francis Onuk is
passionate about helping individuals, small and medium scale businesses and established businesses
communicate their brand to consumers. His journey in the art sector started with an interest in
animation, he then went on to writing poems as a means of expressing himself and decided to
pursue a place in the visual arts sector.
Combining traditional techniques and principles with technology is his strong point and has seen
him journey through the digital arts sphere by producing illustrations for merchandise, mascots,
and character designs. Presently, he is concluding a series of illustrations for a clothing line ‘NSIBIDI’
under a label (Always Fresh Gear) which he and his twin brother Tony, co-founded. NSIBIDI designs
used an ancient, coded writing system predominantly used by their native Ibibio and Efik regions
of Nigeria. Another upcoming project is the yet to be released line ‘WISE WORDS’, which illustrates
African sayings.
