The young man, before his death, was a very talented artist and painter who made portraits and paintings of mainly celebrities - the reason why he earned the name Pencil Celebrities.
He made paintings for the First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, President Akufo-Addo himself, and other celebrities, including Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku, Bola Ray, just to mention a few.
