Rasta also took time to laugh off suggestions that his works are controversial. His works are followed by many and if anything, his sketches show personalities how “important” they are as Rasta only draws known people.
Also, they make for good comic relief. His art has become so notorious that The Queen actress Zenande Mfenyana tweeted that she does not want Rasta to paint her at her funeral.
