Adeniyi) in 2011 and earned his Bachelor of Finance Degree from Mount Allison University, the McGill of New Brunswick, in 2015. He will selling seven of his most spectacular self-published comics at DCAF, including the thrill-a-minute “Vomit Zone,” the pleasantly pleasing “Proper Drawing Technique,” the disturbed “David” and the gut wrenching “Gracie.”
