Hi,
So I mean, if you didn’t know this before, now you do: My name is Anthony Azekwoh, Nigerian artist and author. A couple weeks ago, I was contacted to paint the portraits for a wedding in Lagos. After sustaining many bruises myself (inside and out), I was able to finish the paintings and those are what you see before you now.
My manager has charitably informed me that I swear and ramble too much.
True, but fucking hell this was a lot.
Like, you cannot imagine the bullshit that I had to endure for this to even become something tangible, something that we could all finally see.
Oh, but I’m the diva.
Fuck you!
Sitting on that chair for hours while crazy guest after crazy guest came in looking like they had just come from a WWE special. In fact, I had to call Kiitan (my manager), to make sure I was in the right place.
Anyways, it turns out they didn’t want the paintings I slaved hours for (fucking insane right?), something about them being garish (read: real), so yeah it’s my series now.
Hope my pain was worth it, here it is:
