Title: I Just Wannabe an Artist (book 1)
Description: The first volume in this introspective series introduces the visual world of IJWBAA through a curated selection of early works that define his figurative minimalist style. This 40-page hardcover book (6 x 6 inches) features over 100+ digital pieces that explore identity, memory, and cultural symbolism through bold lines, quiet spaces, and a restrained color palette.

Book 1 captures the foundational period of IJWBAA’s practice—where experimentation meets intention, and where the simplicity of form carries deep emotional and conceptual weight. It’s both a personal sketchbook and a meditative archive, inviting viewers into the artist's evolving aesthetic.
