SA TikToker Goes Viral With Clothes Made Out Of Shopping Bags And Lipstick Art

At only 22 years of age, this kid has a big future ahead of him. Perhaps Woolies or Pick 'n Pay should offer him a bursary.

A South African TikToker, who goes by @ricollinart_official, is amazing people with his talent for creating art using only lipstick, coffee, food colouring and other household products.

Ricollin is a self-taught artist who not only draws magnificent art pieces but makes clothes as well.

In 2023 he stunned with a sustainable T-shirt using only Pick ‘n Pay and Woolworths shopping bags. It didn’t end there – he also hand-painted the T-shirt for a more edgy look. All of this was made by hand as the creator has never worked with a sewing machine.

People were naturally impressed, and his followers encouraged him to continue with his unique designs.

When it comes to art, the young man is naturally gifted, and after only starting to paint at the age of 16, he created a series of Springbok-themed paintings using only lipstick.

At only 22 years of age, this kid has a big future ahead of him. Perhaps Woolies or Pick ‘n Pay should offer him a bursary.
