See How One Fan Spent ‘100 Hours’ Devoted to Young & Restless’ Michelle Stafford
Some fans will do anything to get across just how much they love and support their favorite daytime star and one fan of The Young and the Restless’ Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) spent ‘100 hours’ doing exactly that — in the most amazing way. The CBS soap vet shared a video on her social media posted by visual artist Inkredible Josh… and talk about realistic!
The video started with Josh holding a 24×36 piece of paper as the words “After 100 hours of drawing a hyper realistic portrait of Michelle Stafford” appeared on the screen. In the next part of the video, with a smile on his face, he turned the paper over to reveal a beautiful “realistic” pic of Stafford as the words, “What do you think about this piece?” appeared.

Stafford was blown away and stated, “Oh man! Inkredible Josh I love this! You are so beautiful, so lovely! I love this!”
In presenting his work on his Instagram page, Josh credited Stafford as being, “an actress whose presence is as striking on paper as it is on screen” and stated that “capturing her essence was an intense journey, one that demanded every ounce of focus and patience I could give.”
Stafford’s fans and daytime friends were in awe as well, including castmates Eileen Davidson (Ashley) who simply stated, “Epic!” as Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren) added, “Wow that’s incredible!” And General Hospital’s Finola Hughes (Anna), who happens to be a very good friend of the actress, shared, “What! That is amazing!”
And amazing it was… props to Josh! What a talented artist he is.
