He belongs to a recent generation of African cartoon artists interested in the language of comic books, in particular American and European ones. In his stories, however, we do not find the super heroes or adventure characters we are accustomed to, but commonplace situations of life in Sub-Saharan Africa, in urban or rural settings. Mulokwa, who is better known by his nickname, Tuf, started drawing cartoons and caricatures at age nine. While in high school he released his first graphic novel, Manywele, edited in Swahili, his native tongue, in 1998. His second book, this time in English, was published in 2001, titled Komerera: The Runaway Bride, and earned him the Cartoonist of the Year prize from the Nairobi Media Institute. He has worked for several African newspapers and magazines, and has made some sci-fi works. He has illustrated several children’s books and created storyboards for animated advertising films. He has a deep connection with music and a strong admiration for cartoonists Massimiliano Frezzato, from Italy, and Albert Uderzo, from France, as well as for Disney’s animated films. He has taken part in exhibitions in Italy and in the United States.
