Hello, my name is Dr. Fuller David and I
hold the world record title for the life
0:10
destroying the world by an individual. I decided to take
on this record because I wanted to challenge myself
0:16
I wanted to push the limits
of my ability as an artist
0:21
I also wanted to create impact in
the creative community in Nigeria
0:26
The design concept is a map of
Nigeria showing the very very
0:29
various cultures. The title of the drawing is
unity in diversity. This is me showing my people
0:36
the beauty that resides in our culture. I
wanted to create something that speaks to that
0:42
and give people an avenue to celebrate their
cultures. Before embarking on this record
0:48
drawing, I took a trip around my country and it
was this experience that I brought to the stadium
0:53
to create this drawing. I have been a professional
artist for about 10 years. Everettking, ever
0:59
Since I was a child, I had always loved art. Getting
to medical schools when I really took it up a notch
1:06
I taught myself everything I needed to
know about drawing and about painting
1:11
The materials used were the canvas and markers. The joining process for our canvas took two whole days
working day and night There were 30 different design concepts on this map which related to the cultures that
1:29
we wanted to depict on the map of Nigeria. If you take this and
related to the one that was done at the stadium, you would see a lot
1:36
of similarities and just very few differences. I remember standing
right in the center of this canvas about to start this drawing and
1:45
filled with a lot of apprehension and fear, because everything all these
years I led to this moment. The moment my marker touched the canvas
1:53
there was no going back. All the fear had gone
away and I started moving. I was fearless
2:01
and I kept going on and on until the final day.
The atmosphere at the stadium was electrifying
2:08
The level of support received was overwhelming.
I didn't realize the power of what my message was
2:15
My successful record size was a thousand and
four point seven square meters of drawing
2:25
Holding a Guinness world record title is absolutely unbelievable.
I never thought that I would be a record title holder
2:35
I feel very honored and I feel
officially amazing. You know
