Olawale Babatunde, known as Wale Art-afrik, is an Ile Ife, Osun State-based artist. When he was about 12 years old, the headmaster of his school wrote on his testimonial card, “Wale is the school artist.” It wasn‘t only his headmaster that saw the talent in him, people around him also noticed that he could draw very well and they encouraged him.
