Any artist trying to draw me should stop – JALANG’O on why he is no longer accepting portraits from artists.

 Saturday, 28 November 2020 – Comedian and radio presenter, Jalang’o, is no longer accepting portraits from pencil artists.

Jalang’o took to his Instagram page and advised any artist who is planning to draw him with the hopes of delivering the portrait to him not to waste the energy.

According to Jalas, he has so many portraits in his house and there is no space left to store new portraits.

“For the past five years, I have received hundreds of portraits from different artists and the pieces are getting spoiled because I don’t have anywhere to hang them, my house is full, my office is full. It hurts me to see your hard-earned work just go to waste, “He wrote.

 “Before you draw me, just try and get in touch and ask me if I want a painting. Don’t ambush me with your work and think I will buy or accept it even for free. I won’t because I have nowhere to take them,” he added.

Here’s the full post.
