Jonathan Djob Nkondo is the rare artist who excels as a draftsman, animator and designer of graphics. His sketchbook drawings and animation found on his Tumblr and Flickr are terrifically solid in the sense that each figure has a strong, believable structure supporting Jonathan’s unique cartoon coatings.

His wall art is worth checking out, too—a solid example of colors, letterforms, and funny cartoons in pleasing compositions.
