The ability as an artist to mix graffiti with other styles of art is what makes artistic creations unique.

Wasiu knew that art made him happy, and began to build his skills online with “how to” drawing lessons. Later, he became intrigued with graffiti and street art. Wasiu remembers practicing and having a sketch book filled with graffiti and carton drawings. This is when he got his inspiration for his brand name “Exotick”.

​

Wasiu decided to advance his knowledge of art by taking his first art class in high school. His joy of creating grew as he learned the basic techniques and history of art. To further is studies in art he enrolled into college but only completed a year and half because he felt the classroom setting was not where he could find his inspiration. He left school with the intention of enhancing his own unique style. Wasiu enjoys working with both acrylic and spray paint but has no limitations on a medium.
