"Ooko worked magic on all three of my poetry books. He first redesigned my debut, Dichol, and later gave the other two wings to fly. His illustrations are simply awesome—authentic, abstract, and dreamlike. He creates characters and imagery that give my work that rich, African look and feel—like something out of Okigbo’s Labyrinths or Tutuola's My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. What sets him apart is how he chooses just the right fonts and arranges text on the page in a way that feels modern, poetic, and truly creative. He’s a rare designer who knows how to visualize poetry. I wholeheartedly recommend him."
— Evelyne Ongogo, Kenyan Poet
