Good morning everyone,

I bring to you my recent sketch. His name is Majek Fashek but the full name is Majekodunmi Fasheke. It is a yoruba name and the first name means "Don't let me me pained by it" while the second name means "Deity or Divination does not lie".

He was a Nigerian reggae musician, he was one of the first musician to get attracted to foreign (Caribbean) music genre which is reggae. His musical influence was Bob Marley and he even sings like him. He was our very own Nigerian Bob Marley. He was very popular then and had worked with the likes of Beyonce, Micheal Jackson, Snoop Dogg, etc. Unfortunately he dies two days ago from cancer at the age of 57 years.

His memories lives on and will always be remembered. Rest in Peace Majek Fashek.

I drew on Autodesk Sketchbook on my Camon 12 mobile phone. It is a Pointillism portrait and I decided to try out something different buy using black dots on white background. Although as I was drawing I decided to change the background as I wasn't sure which one will come out well but eventually I went for a duller background.
