Good Reads. ‘Alphabet: A Selected Index of Anecdotes and Drawings.’ by Artist Toyin Odutola.

Toyin Odutola Alphabet


Nigerian-born, New York-based visual artist Toyin Odutola has gained quite a following online for her uniquely complex pen and ink drawings. Interestingly enough, Odutola doesn’t offer prints of her works, preferring to work with printers to release printed images of her work in book format. She recently announced the re-elease of her 2012 book Alphabet. A book which she describes as “a singular work: combining an abridged version of my MFA Thesis (documenting my methodology, process, conceptual themes, even journal entries) and high-quality ballpoint pen drawings up to that point.”

Alphabet is available for purchase on Blurb.
