Somizi Mhlongo is among the latest celebs to receive an SK Original portrait. The former judge of the now-cancelled Idols SA couldn't help but sing SK's praises when he presented him with a signature cracked glass portrait of himself.

Somizi receives SK Original portrait

Somizi Mhlongo recently invited popular visual artist SK Original to Metro FM for an in-depth interview about his art.

Knowing to never visit anyone's house empty-handed, SK brought SomGAGA a gift - a signature cracked glass portrait of the flamboyant media personality:

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."

Somizi gave the talented artist a warm thank you for his amazing piece of art:

"In my 50 years of living, I’ve received gifts, won awards but this tops it all. What an honour. Ur not just a talent, your art is spiritual. It can only be God that can anoint u like this. Ur yo ancestors wildest dreams. Thank u so much."
