About Afro Boy Productions
Afro Boy showcases the distinctive artistry of Derek C Buckingham, a seasoned designer, animator, and illustrator with over two decades of experience in digital and print media. Based in Nanaimo, BC, the brand offers screen prints, T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and a wide array of intricate designs that blend the dynamic essence of urban culture with a profound appreciation for nature, drawing inspiration from the trails, mountains, and wild landscapes of the West Coast.
Established in 2017, Afro Boy reflects Derek's unique style, merging rustic charm with urban vibrancy—a testament to his upbringing in the small village of Silverton, BC, and his formative years in Edmonton, AB. His signature illustrative style is vivid, eclectic, and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to delve deeper into compositions interwoven with personal meanings and evocative memories. This evolution into wearable art allows individuals to engage with his creations in their daily attire, seamlessly merging visual storytelling with fashion.
Afro Boy is committed to offering wearable art crafted primarily from natural materials. In instances where natural fabrics aren't feasible, we select garments with synthetic blends, ensuring durability and a bold aesthetic.
