I have no words friends...I've been crying this whole afternoon. Very sad day...Not only for us in South Africa. The world has lost a great GREAT man! May his spirit of peace and forgiveness live on in every heart. RIP Madiba.Β

A guy like Mandela does not come every lifetime. Your art captures him in perfectly. So here's to you Mandela. Thank you for your courage. The world will miss you.

What a professional, heartfelt portrait of the man who became renowned for his activism... Described as a true revolutionary of the people and for that, has received acclaim all around the world.

Every single detail has been intricately designed, from the bottom of your heart... it honestly shows as such. Everything from the short, curly hair to the ageing skin that shows he's been there and seen it all in his 94 years on the Earth... It really looks amazing.

You've even weaved an interesting pattern into Mandela's t-shirt, which further adds that realism. Overall, a picture-perfect portrait that deserves the accolades it can get and then some. I've absolutely got to stick it into my Honorary-class favourites... Amazing work, and hope to see more!
