Last week I drew some Ghanaian TV station logos in graffiti lettering style. I had no criteria for choosing and I didn’t do them to mess with any brand. Enjoy 1/3

How #KofiOOKofi album artwork was made. Personally it was fun. I think @KinaataGh was a bit disappointed when I showed up with just my sketchbook and no iPad. He sang three of the songs, I made the sketches in the book and got back home to do my magic. EP out now. Enjoy!!!
