first class artist Chigbu Joshua has shared his sudden turn to fame after drawing the late TB Joshua.
Joshua known for his artistic prowess revealed that bos story to fame would be incomplete without TB Joshua
He said in 2019, when he embarked on a journey as a content creator, pouring his heart and soul into drawings that featured people, celebrities, and various creative subjects. Despite his best efforts, none of his creations gained the recognition he had hoped for. The disappointment led him to take a hiatus from drawing for a painful six months. Instead, he found himself reposting old works, nursing the wounds of creative frustration.
The turning point in his story came unexpectedly in 2021, with the passing of the great Prophet TB Joshua. Reluctantly, he decided to draw him, fueled more by a sense of duty than anticipation for widespread appreciation. Little did he know that this seemingly simple act would alter the course of his artistic trajectory.
To his astonishment, the drawing of Prophet TB Joshua resonated with people on a level he had never experienced before. It quickly spread across the internet, finding its way onto platforms like Opera News, Facebook, Instagram, and even making appearances on television. It was as if the universe had conspired to shine a spotlight on his work, and his journey to fame had undeniably commenced

The experience taught him a valuable lesson about the unpredictable nature of creative success. Sometimes, it takes a moment of unexpected inspiration to break through the barriers of obscurity. The emotional rollercoaster from frustration to fame highlighted the importance of perseverance and the unpredictable ways in which art can touch people’s lives.
As he reflect on the past three years, I
he realize that setbacks are an inevitable part of any creative journey. However, it’s the resilience to push through the lows that sets the stage for unexpected highs. His encounter with Prophet TB Joshua’s portrait served as a testament to the unpredictable nature of artistic recognition and the potential for a single creation to change everything.
In his exact words,
“I remember back then in 2019 when i started posting my work here with the aim of getting recognition. I drew a lot of people, celebrities & different creative things but none of them went viral, and if u’re a content creator here u’ll understand the pain of creating something for the public only for it not to reach them.
Due to Frustration, i didn’t draw for 6 months, i was only reposting my old works until 2021 when the great Prophet TB Joshua passed on.
That day, i reluctantly drew him with the mindset that people won’t still see it.
But that work changed everything!!!
It was all over the internet, Opera News, Facebook, Instagram & it was also shown on Tv.
My Journey to Fame started after i drew this Prophet 3 years ago.”
