Hello friends!
In light of recent events, inspirations, and exoduses** (btw tumblr I left my super homophobic home in NJ to couch surf in nyc because my family is crazy and my life is a queer lifetime movie), I have been doing personal commissions for friends. If you are interested in commissioning me for a piece,

– Send an email to Odera.Igbokwe@gmail.com or personal message on FB or Tumblr Ask to claim a slot in the queue. 

– I will then contact you to begin the process discussing what you would like.

– Once payment is confirmed I will begin the piece.

– Payment is via Paypal in USD (If I know you personally I am open to other/the most convenient option). 

Feel free to message me your ideas for commissions, and if you like include any particular styles or reference images in your head canon
“Yes, I want a character from Jet Set Radio traversing through an early Missy Elliott video with a dash of Gustav Klimt~!" 

You can also view more of my work at www.odera-igbokwe.com if you want a more extensive view at the possibilities. (Price adjusts to level of detail, such elaborate backgrounds, multiple figures, etc).

Simply the best (Better than all the rest), 
Anytime you need a friend,
*Kira Kira*,
One in a million, 
(You love me like) XO,
~~Odera

Hidden Mother

“Trying to get a baby or a fussy toddler to sit still for a photograph can feel like a herculean task. Luckily, it only takes a second to get the shot. In the nineteenth century, however, it was a different story—particularly when it came to tintype portraits, which required a long exposure. 

Photographer Laura Larson’s series, Hidden Mother, presents a survey of nineteenth-century tintype portraits in which the mother of the child was included in the photograph, but obscured. 

In some instances, the mother would hold her child, with a cloth or props hiding her from the lens, or she would be painted over by the photographer after the image had been taken. In other examples, the mother is entirely absent from the frame, save for an arm, holding the child in place. 

The results are both funny and slightly disturbing. The mother appears as an uncanny presence, Larson writes in a statement. Often, she is swathed in fabric, like a ghost.”
