SK Original finally had the opportunity to gift Summer Walker the portrait he made of her.
The famous fine artist created an incredible piece dedicated to the singer, made out of cracked glass, and had pleaded with his online community to help make the handover possible.
Starting in late September 2025, SK shared a detailed step-by-step transformation of the glass canvas, which he tapped bit by bit with a hammer to create the stunning piece.
Ahead of her performance at Rocking the Daisies on 3 October, SK's followers rallied behind him to help him meet Summer Walker to hand the portrait to her:
"Please help me get her attention so I can hand it over."
The meeting finally happened backstage at the singer's concert, where SK had the opportunity to hand over his piece and chat with Summer about his work.
SK, who is also famous for creating unique rugs, previously made portraits for Chris Brown and, most recently, Wiseman Mncube.
On 5 October, he shared a video of himself on Instagram presenting his portrait to Summer Walker, thanking his supporters, and saying the singer was impressed:
"We did it, guys. She loved it."
