Actress Lupita Nyong’o’s (@lupitanyongo) #FanArtFriday series started on a whim. “I think the first fan art I saw was an illustration of me in my red cape after the Golden Globes in 2014,” says Lupita, seen here with a piece by artist Donald Robertson (@drawbertson) which was inspired by the “Queen of Katwe” actress’s colorful red carpet looks. As a thank you, Lupita began highlighting a new piece of art on her account each week. “There are paintings. There are mosaics. There are pencil drawings. I thought it was a really cool way just to showcase artists. And it adds that special touch to a moment in my life, as well.”
