ARTIST MAKES MURAL

The artist whose name is Bou Bou shared a touching video of him painting a mural of the late actor. Dressed in black native attire with sunglasses on, Bou Bou took on a mournful posture and approached a bowl of paint with four roses in his hand.

The time-lapse clip showed Bou Bou working wonders and bringing Boseman to life through his work, starting the mural upside down. Alternating between black and grey strokes, the talented artist gradually pieced the artwork together.

Bou Bou finished up the painting before finally turning it over revealing a perfect bust portrait of the late Boseman. After the unveiling, he gave the trademark Wakanda pose while a local tribute song played in the background.
