“I finally edited together my Marcus Rashford artwork, which I created over six months ago now but in light of the recent events I thought it was worthwhile putting this painting out there,” says Justin. “It is another positive portrait of this incredible young man and all that he stands for.
“For me, there is no better role model for young people today than this ‘23-year-old black man from Withington and Wythenshawe, South Manchester’,” says Eagleton, quoting Rashford’s words. “He quite rightly should never have to apologise, in his own words ‘for who I am and where I came from’.
Thank you Justin, this is amazing x
