SK has a slew of celebrity portraits on his Instagram page, which has garnered a large following of over 122K.

Speaking to Briefly News, the visual artist revealed how he selects his muse:

"Each person I choose is either in my playlist or someone I grew up watching. They each have had an impact on me or left a huge impression on me."

SK went on to speak about some of his most challenging pieces:

"My favourite to make was the Pearl Thusi artwork because I incorporated the ceiling challenge to create it which in itself was a challenge.
The hardest to make would have to be Major League. It involves two faces on one canvas and I had to do it in circumstances that were not ideal or conducive to creating art. Also 'cause the artwork is large, luckily I didn’t have to make large corrections to the artwork or start over."
