Midiaou Diallo

Midiaou was born in the late spring of 2001. He started to draw at the age of 3, when dinosaurs, pterosaurs and other animals began sparking his imagination. From there he started collecting books and going out to draw from nature. He now illustrates for articles, and commission work, all from the comfort of his home in Whitestone, New York.
