Artist Damilola Odusote is known for his eclectic and intricate works that combine ink drawings with tiny human figures. His favorite artists MC Escher and David Shrigley for the detail and humor in their deep thought provoking drawings, and you can definitely see an Escher influence in this piece, entitled Show Pink Love Together.
