Sunset turns the sea to crimson as three men wade through the shallows toward shore. Fishing is their livelihood and their boat carries the legend Sea Never Dry. Working in batik, K. Baka creates a colorful image of life in Ghana. Artisan Info: Artist K. Baka has been featured in Red Herring magazine. My name is Kwabena Kufuor Afriyie-Addo Jr. (also known as K. Baka). I was born on Tuesday, July 2, 1968 in the eastern region of Ghana. My father is Benjamin Kwabena Kufuor Afriyie-Addo and my mother is Nancy Afriyie-Addo. When I was a child, I used to draw a lot. I was so interested in art that in school it was the subject I got the highest marks for. Actually, it was a gift - a talent. I later entered art college for a three year diploma in art. That was from 1990 to 1993. After graduation, I established my shop in the house. While in school, I was painting and selling, so after school I did not need to undergo any brush-up or polishing. I do paintings, craftwork, billboards, screen-printing and signboards. In 1997, I had 20 students whom I taught painting, batik, and textile making. Presently I have two apprentices.
