Rodney Tawanda Ngundu is a writer, illustrator, graphic designer and photographer based in Zimbabwe. Originally a comic book writer, Rodney blended his digital art skill with his writing to create many concepts and ideas that are used in advertising.
Tawanda is also one-third of the Zimbabwean art collective AfroTokyo along with his brothers Kudzai Ngundu and Nyasha Ngundu. Rodney created the African comic, Paper Angels, free to read on Webtoons.
Like his brothers, Rodney Tawanda Ngundu’s art is heavily inspired by manga and anime. Rodney Tawanda Ngundu’s work is a marriage of both worlds, Zimbabwe and Japan.
