Pencil artist Musekiwa’s talent extends to writing stories

DESPITE being a pencil artist passionate about wildlife and cultural themes, Noel Junior Musekiwa also has a unique talent in providing an oral and written narrative to support each of his creative work.

Musekiwa told NewsDay Life & Style that his drawings A Honey Badger, An African Warthog, A Female Leopard Lying on a Tree, A Sad Herd Boy and A Meerkat Standing Up on a Tree carry with them a lot of teachings for human upright moral consciousness and well-being.

Musekiwa said the story of the honey badger illustrated that even in the toughest times, one should in that desperation have somewhere or someone to turn to for comfort and support, just like Haka and the river.
