Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a young Nigerian artist had made a fine portrait of Akon using old newspapers.
Before his artwork gained massive popularity on social media, the young man dazzled many with his pieces during his National Youth Service Corps year in Aba, Abia state.
Speaking with Legit.ng, Arinze revealed that he spent a week and some days creating the piece. He added that when he started, he could spend one month to make such.
On some of his challenges, the man who self-taught himself the art said he sometimes makes mistakes with colour combinations.
