People could not help but sing the artist's praises. Some commented that they were proud to see a South African show of his skill. SK explained that he self-taught after studying IT at university. He said:
"I've been drawing at home since 2020, basically I'm self-taught. I learn from the internet and went from drawing to painting, painting on canvas, went on to cracking glass which is basically taking a hammer and smashing glass until a face pops up. I've learned all these things at home.
