A glimpse of the works and faces of 2022!
Tarot/Divination pieces, large gallery paintings, comic and book covers, editorials, children’s publishing, and countless figure drawings and sketches 😤
Part of me calls it spreading myself too thin, the other part calls it expansive 😌
Here is to another year of making things and growing the seeds of of some ongoing long term projects 🌻

Dope from @odyism Recently my husband and I started playing Digimon Next Order on a whim. As a type this I have an Ophanimon and MarineAngemon that are about to hit the end of their life cycle. Typically I could never beat digimon games and instead would say "once I get an Angewomon I have beaten the game and don't need to play anymore". But I think I might play a bit longer, at least for a Sakuyamon, Togemon, and an Agumon that isn't allowed to get thicc. What were some of your favorite digimon as a kid? If you could have a digimon RIGHT NOW who would it be? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #odera #oderaigbokwe #africanfantasy #artistsofcolor #qpocartist #drawingwhileblack #fantasyart #blackwitches #melaninmagic #afrofuturism #yvrartist #illustragram #contemporaryafricanart #artxlagos #afrofuturism #afrocentric #melaninart #blackbeauty #dopeblackart #blackisbeautiful #angewomon #angemon #africanangels #digimonart (at Newark, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/fabulizemag/p/BvOM_FgFiA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14n181k6bn1vg

Beautiful illustrations by #artist Odera Igbokwe @oderaigbokwe for @holtrenfrew’s Pride 2021 Artist Installation.
Reposted from @oderaigbokwe
Happy Pride season everyone!
My three pieces focus on the theme of spreading love, from a lens that is Black, queer, non-binary, and magical. Love can take on so many shapes—whether it’s love of a partner, love of chosen family, or love anchored in anger and resilience. So my works aim to show a glimpse of the possibilities when we think of love as expansive and transformative...
Pride is a time for celebrating the fullness and entire spectrum of the queer community. It means remembering the history of queer people, not only locally but from a global perspective. Pride is also a meditative time to center and reaffirm Black trans people, Black queer people, queer people of colour, and people living at the intersection of marginalized queer identities...
Pride is protest, Pride is sexual joy and liberation, Pride is healing, Pride is Black, Pride is honoring and centering the expansive nature of gender identity and expression, Pride is divesting from violence workers, Pride is a time to meditate and live out love letters to Marsha's and Sylvia's dream.

Hi tumblr! I figured I would reintroduce myself here, since I have decided tumblr is simply my favorite place to share online *still* to this day.
My name is Odera and I am a painter and illustrator!
The main places you can find me are here, my side blog @burritobowlofthepelvis, my website, and @ oderaigbokwe on IG.
I'm physically located on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations (aka known as Vancouver Canada).
Alot of my work centers the magic of the African diaspora and the Black Queer Imagination. The foundational years of my career were complimentary to Black speculative works, Afrofuturism, and Fantasy as a gateway to healing. This has since grown to explore the spirit based, ancestral work of the diaspora, and most recently I have been combining it all and trying to find that magic in the physical, daily, embodied things.
My side blog is @burritobowlofthepelvis which I am slowly but surely reorganizing. This blog is filled with reblogs for inspiration, potential reference images, more casual glimpses of my life, selfies, and outfits of the day. (Some of the reblogs are NSFW, so minors DNI there). Ultimately I am trying to use that blog as a combination journal/resource for my sketchbook.
Below are some of my favorite paintings and illustrations over the years that give an idea of the kinds of things I am exploring or have done throughout my career.
The Spirit Child. 2022. Oils on board.
This painting is the centerpiece of my series of Tarot/Oracle/Afrodiasporic Divination paintings. The series is slowly but surely coming together, and once I get to the minor arcana I am excited to make some stylistic shifts that not only match the messaging but are also much faster to make.
Selections from my solo exhibition 'New Yam Festival'. These paintings are all big, juicy, vibrant, improvisational, and embody the playfulness, pleasure, and joy of the Black Queer imagination! Up until that point I was working mostly at a smaller scale (anywhere from 8x10 to 20x30 inches). So it was fun to size up to 6-8 feet for each of these!
Above are some of my favorite commercial illustrations for book covers and comics. Covers are their own particular fun design challenge, but of all the illustration assignments they can feel the most fulfilling to me.
And something classic from the archive: Odera Redesigns the cast of Sailor Moon.
I can't believe most of those were created almost 10 years ago. But that's where we are, and it feels good to still want to use this platform despite how much the world is changing.
Feel free to reblog, like, comment, or ask me any questions you have!

As the year closes, it’s fun to look back at the work that were made and shown in 2021! It was a year of murals, covers, gallery shows, and more. A generative, momentus, and bussy time for #artvsartist

Hello friends! I’ve been hard at work creating some tarot/oracle paintings, and I’m super excited to share the first one with you all on April 25th on Odera.net.
For the Spirit Child collection you can expect prints and originals of some new and some old. It’s been super fun breathing my own life into the major arcana! Mark your calendars, and feed the algoriddim with an offering of your earliest Odera memory 💐🌻🌞🌻💐

Here is a new illustration I created for Vancouver Writer's Fest.
A huge shoutout to ZAK design studio for the lovely art direction and design work.
When I heard one of the themes was Black Lives Matter, I had to really anchor myself in a visual solution that honored the movement but didn’t center systemic anti-Black violence and police brutality. With this illustration I wanted to weave together timelines, and imagine our chants and protests as a guiding light amongst the stars.
(...When I type that all out it’s really giving BLM but make it EarthSeed.)

A preview from this month’s video on Patreon. I call these specific explorations Drawing Divinations. I pull a card & do a stream of conscious sketch inspired by said card. It’s been a great way to learn about different practices and systems, and it tricks my brain into not being swallowed by the idea of making a tarot deck.
BGM is by Mr Yohan (who makes some lovely African inspired lo-fi beats)

Ordera Igbokwe @odyism ⚛️ I woke up this morning thinking about Oya. Thinking about how we can try to contort ourselves to fit into boxes, to rebuild ourselves into unbreakable structures. But you can’t contain transformation, and you certainly can’t contain a tempest. . . #supportblackart #oderaigbokwe #odera #africanfantasy #artistsofcolor #qpocartist #oya https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCobpEBCZJ/?igshid=44xuvgfycx4b
