It doesn't look like Buk, no. But what's wrong with artistic liberty? It's either his interpretation on Buk, or he just sucks at copying (but who wants to copy?). I like the idea. I had a similar idea with window glass that never took off because I never did it.
And the New Yorker never publishes my shit, so I'm quite biased towards not liking them and that little man-icon-drawing they have on their site. He makes me angry.
