Graeme Hoete, also known as Mr G, is a street artist who specialises in photo-realistic murals.
His first commissioned artworks were of clients' dogs, which earned him enough income to begin to pursue his art career full time.
Through social media and the sharing of his artworks Hoete was able to pick up bigger clients including Ice-T and Coco Austin.
In 2016, after the passing of Prince, Hoete was moved to paint a mural in the singer's honour.
