I am a freelance graphic designer and photographer. This website started out on January 1, 2010 as a daily photo blog, and after 2 years and three months, I decided to expand it beyond my photography to include my design, illustration, and crafts as well.
The name of this blog comes from the Okapi. The reason I chose an okapi is simple. They are not necessarily the most beautiful, best, or well-known animal in the world, but they are unique. I consider my photography, design, and crafts to be the same; unique.
I hope you enjoy what I have created and I welcome your comments.
More about the Okapi
The Okapi (Okapia johnstoni – pronounced Oh – kah – pee) is a mammal native to the Ituri Rainforest, located in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in central Africa. They are striped on the hindquarters like a zebra, but are actually related more closely to giraffes. There are approximately 10,000 – 20,000 in the wild.
