Artcow ugojesse - nigerian graphic designer and cartoonist extradinoire

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
It’s been over a year since any of Jesse’s art has been posted here, so I went through his account screenshotting the stuff I found funny or interesting. If I thought the caption or comments or whatever were worth seeing I included them as well. They should be in chronological order, enjoy.

The comments on this are great, my favorite is the first one lmao:

I have no idea what this one means:

He’s mostly been making illustrated porn stories that he publishes on Telegram. His Telegram channel got censored so he made a post explaining how to see it:

He made a few posts about this Mohmad guy, he was a rapper who died under mysterious circumstances and people are mad about it. This is the most interesting one imo:

This is how he celebrated Nigerian Independence Day:

Something about the president of Nigeria being accused of being a TIF, idk what’s going on with that and I can’t tell what his stance is:

In his most recent post he’s showing off some cartoonist trophy he got:

I do think his art has improved and it’s nice to see that he’s still doing his thing.

Edit: apparently his Telegram thing got deleted, this is what you get when you click the link in his IG bio:

I missed this tard. His art reminds me of simpler days, when you would "regularly" await the next issue of Sonichu, never knowing what the fuck Chris is going to make it about that time. Definitely using some of these as reaction images.
One thing I am disappointed about, out of all artists/cartoonists going into porn, it had to be the guy who draws at a level of a deviant art tween with a really obscure fetish. Plenty of political cartoonists I could list off the top of my head that have a much better/attractive artstyle that would be a much better fit, if that's the direction they wanted to go(especially since their political takes are shit anyways)
 
Fresh batch of comics:

He actually has an impressive follower count, though his engagement isn’t great so maybe some are bots (idk how to tell).

I wrote a post here about West African food that people in this thread might find interesting. It’s called fufu, Jesse has mentioned it in the past.

The clout chasing comic is actually pretty intresting
 
About 85% of the time, I quite litterly have no clue what the meaning of Ugo's comics are. Litterly none. And yet, I still have a strange spot of endearment for all of them.

It's sort of like when my youngest hands me a sheet of paper with his scribbles on it, or some popsicle sticks glued into an indiscernible mass. No clue what it means. Yet I love it all the same. I enjoy the same wholesome feeling Ugo gives me.

Rock on, you sweet chocolate man. In a World full of men in dresses and fur fuckers, you are a beacon of light.

This one feels like a meme format:

He’s also posted some odd non-comic stuff:

This one is especially strange to me because Jesse’s audience is mostly African. I feel like this woman would have more success on a local dating site than on a Nigerian cartoonist’s Instagram.

This seems like an ad, but since the text was clearly written by the marketers behind it I would expect a #sponsored or something. He posted this twice, once on February 24 and again at the start of March.
