The Red Man is the work that turned a writer into an artist — the first piece Anthony Azekwoh made entirely for himself, and the one the world recognised before it knew his name. This is the sketch beneath it: the first time the figure surfaced, before the colour, before the prints, before the millions who would carry it across the internet. It is the origin of the face that became a reference point across his work — identity, resilience, and the quiet intensity that runs through everything he has made since. One of one, kept for six years and released on its sixth: the only record of the moment the myth began.
