He was deeply influenced by the storytelling, song, and dance traditions of his Wagadagam Tribe.Beginning in earnest in the 1990s, his artistic journey combined traditional carving techniques with modern linocut methods, creating a unique aesthetic that earned international recognition before his passing in 2012.Billy Missi’n Wakain Thamai honours Missi’s artistic legacy and his dedication to maintaining the language and culture of his people.
