Sore Adebisi: Championing Creative Collaboration in Art and Design

Picture this: a digital artist in Lagos, armed with talent and determination, transforming the Nigerian creative landscape one pixel at a time. That’s Sore Adebisi for you – an art director proving that in today’s creative world, the real magic happens when minds collide.

From Canvas to Digital Canvas: A Journey

Long before walking through the University of Lagos gates, Sore had already caught the art bug. But it was the university’s vibrant creative atmosphere that lit the fuse. Starting as a traditional painter, he stumbled upon digital illustration and never looked back. Think of it as upgrading from a bicycle to a spacecraft – suddenly, the possibilities were endless.

Making Waves in the Digital Ocean

Remember when your mixtape finally got noticed? Sore Adebisi had a similar moment when his Rema cover art challenge entry caught everyone’s attention. Before he knew it, his inbox was flooded with commission requests. His first major gig? Creating cover art for Koko, was like getting the keys to the kingdom of digital art.

The BNXN Connection

Sometimes the best partnerships start with a simple conversation. That’s exactly how Sore linked up with BNXN. What began as a casual chat evolved into a creative powerhouse, spawning everything from NFTs to comic books. Now they’re like the dynamic duo of Nigerian digital art – Batman and Robin, but with tablets and styluses.

Championing the Digital Revolution

These days, you’ll find Sore’s fingerprints all over the place, from the Chivas Regal #IRiseWeRise campaign. He’s not just creating art; he’s proving that digital artists deserve a seat at the big table. And those NFTs he created with BNXN? They sold faster than concert tickets.

Wisdom for the Next Generation

Here’s Sore’s golden rule for upcoming artists: show your work! It’s like trying to get a date – you’ve got to put yourself out there. In his words, “People won’t work with an artist if they haven’t seen what they have done.” Simple, but profound.

The Big Picture

What makes Sore’s story special isn’t just his impressive portfolio – it’s his understanding that great art isn’t created in isolation. In a world where everyone’s trying to be a solo star, he’s championing the power of creative collaboration, proving that when artists unite, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

From university corridors to international campaigns, Sore Adebisi is showing us that the future of art isn’t just digital – it’s collaborative. And in Nigeria’s bustling creative scene, that’s a game-changer worth raising a glass to.
