Looks like this is an issue with canvas itself but not Node. Check filed issue e.g. - Automattic/node-canvas#1023

Hi @marcomorettim, this doesn't appear to be a node issue. Please report the issue with node-canvas or npm.

Edit: Forgot this is /help but nonetheless, as mentioned above, this is far more likely to get help at node-canvas or npm.

Thanks @andela-anandaa & @apapirovski !
