Chris Brown has been on an artistic roll the past couple of days. 

Breezy joined forces with famous graffiti artist Slick (real name Richard Wyrgatsch II) on Friday, tagging up a wall to raise funds for the Best Buddies International foundation.

The rapper tweeted, "Painting today with 'Slick'. An Amazing artist. Gonna be a big collaboration for charity. Do what u love!"

Slick also tweeted, "@chrisbrown charity is a beautiful thang...... Lets do this," and posted a photo with the singer "in the lab" on his Instagram.

But that wasn't the end of Brown's artsy weekend. Chris continued expressing his creativity by painting a huge St. Patrick's Day-inspired mural yesterday, and sharing a photo of the finished product on Twitter.

This isn't the first time fans have seen Breezy's love for art. In January, Brown posted a photo of a painting he did of Jesus on the cross, flanked by the two prisoners who were crucified with Christ, saying, "Painting the way I feel today. Focus on what matters!"
