Oyedele Isaac, a young Nigerian gifted artist caught the attention of the US President Donald Trump after he made a classic ballpoint drawing of him.
The American president commended Isaac for making a portrait of him purely out of blue and red ballpoint pens.
The young Nigerian had taken to Twitter to share the “24 x 21” portrait which, according to him, had taken 70 hours to complete. He had also urged Nigerians to share until Trump gets to see it.
“This is my second portrait of President Trump. This time I really want him to see it. All done in ballpoint, took up to 70hours, ’24×21′ inches. Please RT till the president sees this,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.

President Trump, however, confirmed that he didn’t only see the artwork but that he also found it “fantastic.” Dubbing Oyedele a wonderful artist, he charged him never to give up on his dream.
“Not only did I see it. I think it is fantastic. You are a wonderful artist, never give up your dream!,” Trump wrote while retweeting the photo. — creative_doks (@Doks_Art) December 1, 2019
