This drawing was created as an illustration for the article Bullseye, produced during a pivotal early period in Chaka Mkali’s career. Executed in pen and marker, the work reflects Mkali’s commitment to fusing visual art with grassroots journalism and community media. Like much of his work from this time, Bullseye operates on multiple levels — functioning as editorial illustration, cultural commentary, and a formal exercise in line and composition. It exemplifies Mkali’s belief in drawing as both a communicative and political act.
