A talented Nigerian artist, Nelson Etok, from Akwa Ibom state, has gained massive reactions on social media after he painted Burna Boy and Wizkid in a creative way.
What amazes most people about his work is that he did not use common paintbrushes. With brushes used for washing hard materials, Nelson applied paints on a rough-surfaced wall with masterstrokes.
Assuming a position that would seem awkward to many, the man paints with the dexterity of someone who is worth his salt.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian artist wowed people with the beautiful pen drawing he made of Wizkid. The man said he was happy the work came out well.
He also revealed the drawing was the outcome of more than an 800-hour dedicated hard work of using a coloured pen to flesh out the Grammy award winner.
The artist, therefore, asked people to support his craft and retweet the post so that the musician can see the amazing piece.
