Jasen only starting drawing in lockdown - but his portrait of Marcus Rashford caught the eye of the Manchester United star himself and what happened next was a 'dream' for the dad-of-two
Dad-of-two Jasen Jackiw has been left stunned after a portrait he drew of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford caught the eye of the Reds star himself. Jasen only started drawing as a hobby to pass the time during lockdown and has spent a year creating the pencil and charcoal portrait of England and Reds star Marcus roaring next to a Lion.
To Jasen's astonishment, just a day after sharing the portrait image on Instagram, he got a call from Manchester United. They had seen the portrait, and invited him and his son to Old Trafford to present the drawing to Marcus. "We met Marcus on the Friday and he was just a really nice lad. We thought that was it, but then the lady said: "no we are going to take you round now to meet the rest of the team".
"I never in a million years thought I'd get to go and meet him, or to gift the portrait to him. Everything I could have dreamt of for that drawing and more happened - Manchester United didn't have to do any of it but they did." Jasen, who runs a restoration and paint coatings business Prymo in Sale, says it was only when lockdown hit that he first started to draw. But he's now thinking about which other famous faces he might like to draw in his spare time.
"A thing for me is always imposter syndrome I didn't think it was that good. I did another one of Bugzy Malone - and he saw that and posted about it too. They were only little A4 drawings so I thought do you know what I'm going to challenge myself with something big.
