About Us

Our Story

At Northwind Illustrations, every line begins as a moment of presence. For our artist, sketching is less about concept and more about quiet immersion — a meditative act where the hand moves, and meaning reveals itself only afterward.

The result is work that balances intimacy with energy: minimal line drawings that capture connection in its simplest form, and bold abstractions that radiate rhythm and movement. Some pieces are designed to live on your walls, others on cushions — but all are meant to live with you, woven into the textures of everyday life.

This is not art to be looked at once and passed by. It’s art that keeps you company — soft where you rest, vivid where you gather, a reminder that beauty can be both grounding and alive.

Hi, I'm Toks Agosu

Thanks for being here.

I work primarily with ink on paper—simple, timeless, and endlessly versatile. My art dives into everything from sports and nature to music, spirituality, and pure abstraction.

My mission? To create pieces that spark joy, stir curiosity, and invite a little playfulness into your life.

I’m the artist, dreamer, and all-around color enthusiast behind Northwind Illustrations. My art is all about bold hues, happy vibes, and sneaking a little hope into your day.

Over the years, I’ve turned my creative journey into something tangible, something you can hold and cherish. That’s why I’ve made my artwork accessible to all by transforming it into decorative cushions! 

Think of them as mini masterpieces you can actually cuddle with. Whether you’re jazzing up your sofa, creating a cozy reading nook, or just looking for that perfect pop of joy, these cushions are here to make your space sing. Each piece is designed to brighten your home, your mood, and maybe even your outlook on life. 

So, ready to sprinkle some artful magic into your home? Let’s make it happen—one cushion at a time!

(A Little About Me)

I’m a multimedia graduate from the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. My artistic journey began as a way to navigate life’s ups and downs, but along the way, I discovered something magical—turning everyday moments into bursts of creativity.

Oh, and here’s a fun twist: I’m also the author of a children’s book called Kolobo! inspired by my childhood in Nigeria and my adventures in the UK, it’s a nostalgic, imaginative slice of my story that I’m incredibly proud to share.​

My Artistic Vibe

I work primarily with ink on paper—simple, timeless, and endlessly versatile. My art dives into everything from sports and nature to music, spirituality, and pure abstraction.

My mission? To create pieces that spark joy, stir curiosity, and invite a little playfulness into your life.

With vibrant colors, whimsical details, and designs that make you stop and say, “Wait, where does this even start or end?” my art is all about capturing the energy of life’s beautiful chaos. 

What Inspires Me

Nature is my ultimate muse. I love the fleeting beauty of an unexpected sunset, the rhythm of crashing waves, or the quiet magic of a park bench. It’s these everyday moments that fuel my creativity and make their way into my work.

So, that’s me—a guy who turns everyday beauty into art that makes you smile, think, and feel. Whether it’s through my cushions, my book, or my ink creations, I’m here to spread a little joy, one colorful piece at a time.
