His fellow colleagues in he fraternity send in their condolences.
Mutendei Writes: Man! Still reeling from this news. There are many things good to say about Brian Barasa Wafula and the impact he had in the Nairobi comic and cosplay entertainment scene, and its growth.
The first thing with Barasa that jumps to mind is this. If "If you build it, they will come" was to be a person, Barasa was that person, introducing me (and many others) to the local comic book scene, and its potential, at the periodic Comfee meetup where I first met Point Blank Evumbi and our collaboration on the Shadow Walkers series was born.
Barasa didnt stop there, pioneering PSG (Pro Series Gaming) with his business partner and Naiccon Cofounder, and streamlining a couple of other ideas we had discussed, that hopefully will see the light of day, as his legacy continues.
Kudos to Point Blank Evumbi for this fitting comic character portrait, capturing Barasa in the context of the art he helped build locally.
