D'Banj Kanye Don Jazzy Jay Z .... SWAG!

As you all know, I'm not the best writer so I apologize for the bad grammer and the not so clever use of the English language, and to make matters worse, I'm really exhausted so I'm not doing any editing tonight :). Exhausted for good reason though, this piece took me longer than expected but it went pretty smoothly. Why I did it? Well, it was one of those moments that should be captured - a Nigerian artist signing with of the biggest names in music - now thats huge! I remember the feeling I got when I saw D'Banj and Don Jazzy with Kanye and Jay, I was like Swaaaaaaaaagggg!!! I never would have imagined that in 2011, Nigerian artists would be signing with one of the biggest names in the world, in music!

 It tells you something is happening big is happening, one, we live in a smaller world and second, Naija music is the Bomb! I'm really curious to see hwo this would play out.. so proud of DBanj and Don Jazzy and a big ass fist bump to Kanye and Jay!

Enjoy the art :)

Thanks for all the support I got on the Jack Layton poster, especially the incorporation of his letter in the piece, everyone seemed to enjoy it. Here was my own way of celebrating the man and his legend.

Thank you for all those who ordered already, proceeds from the poster goes to the Layton

family.

Jack Layton Funeral

Just wanted to send my best wishes to the Layton Family.

What if Boy George was the face of L'oreal ??!

Ok, I know I havent posted any of my work in a while, and this is not ur typical work but I was listening to Karma Chameleon at starbucks and I thot, how come no one ever used Boy George for a lipstick ad? I mean.. its freaking Boy George lol!

ideas, and they all wear round glasses:)

Design Republic

Hey everyone in cyber world!

So Design republic is this pretty awesome store that carries a lot of modern art

furniture and they recently decided to carry my art.

I know these are pretty bad pictures but its the best I can do for now. lol.

Enjoy!

Bummer!

Ok so this one started as a fun sketch on the plane ride to the states - I was gonna do

a zombie Will and Kate but it changed after I read an article about the drastic unemployment in England and how the uprising in the middle east will slow down the global recovery.

Glad the fuss about the wedding is over to be honest, its even old story - at least in North America ...

Yours Truly,

Buzz Killington.

Erin Hunt

Hello World!

Its been about 2 weeks since I finished the Album Cover for Erin Hunt.

It was a lot a fun working on this one...

Ghetto Red Hot!

Hey everyone in the blog world!

Here are some posters I did for my boy Jude Idada , I have been

meanin to post them for quite a while but somehow it skipped my

mind. Anyways I did these posters for my boy Jude... he's a an amazing

film maker. The posters in the background is for an up coming naija movie

unlike anything we've seen before... Cant wait!

Oh... I was quite happy to see these posters like this... kinda wished I was there. ..

Good times!

PS: sorry for the bad writing... I only know how to draw ;)

Royal wedding frenzy

Toronto weather is being a douche!

I'm sitting in a coffee shop, finishing up some work and I decided to do a quick sketch of the Sun.. . just wanted to do something fun after a long day :)

The Album cover

Back on track.... the piece really started coming together and Erin is happy.

Just a couple more touches here and there, a couple of anatomy fixes and

we should be gold...

Oh by the way, this is the link to Erin`s music ... enjoy http://www.myspace.com/hearerinsmusic

The Album cover ---- going south

Okay, so I typically dont like to publish pieces that are not going my way. Every artist

has a 10000 bad drawings in them and I think this one of them. I spend hours polishing

this and it didn`t go anywhere... I decided to stop. Go back to d drawing board, start fresh

see what happens,...

The Album cover

So this is the 2nd sketch. Did I mention Erin has a pretty chaotic mind, just like

me lol... so she needed something that showed her beauty and her complexity

so I decided to go all out ...

I decided it might make more sense if Erin was a musical instrument, or made up of musical instruments, and a bunch of crazy symbols that we thot of. She liked it!

The Album cover

I`ve been working on this album cover for a while now, Maybe about a month or so

and its been a mission. The client is a good friend Erin Hunt, love her, great musician

but home girl.. your mind is twisted haha.. anyway.... I want to show the progression

enjoy!

Anyway... this is what I started with, the album is called The Woman that I am. So I

had this idea of her revealing herself to the world ... but this was not twisted enough for

her so I decided to go more crazy

2nd Sketch:

OFWGKTA Zombies

really like the OFWGKTA zombie. . . SWAG!

Kanye West is 007

So for Black History Month, I thought it would be a great idea to

celebrate black icons of our time as super heroes and pop culture

action heroes. Hence Kanye west as 007. Its a 3 x 4 feet piece and

I'm trying to figure out how to send this to Kanye as a gift...

anyone got any ideas?

Othello

Hey guys,

this was a fan art I did for a good friend of mine. The creator of Kill Shakespeare.

It was a piece I really enjoyed working on and I was honored to have it published by

IDW in the 9th issue of comic...
