I've never been an artist.
But I've always been a thinker.
Since before I could talk, I was scribbling stories, writing into existence the weird and wonderful things happening in my brain.
But it wasn't until 2017 that I realized I could harness specific insights and express them as visual concepts.
@char_doodles has given me an outlet to process life and share my ideas with the world.
Originally, my only followers were my 3 roommates, my 5 siblings, and my parents.
then, something crazy happened...
I drew this in a rush at the airport.
Took a picture of it on the plane.
Thought, "Is this stupid?" Almost didn't post.
Posted anyway. Phone into airplane mode.
Took off. Forgot about it.
Landed. Phone back on.
Checked Instagram.
Woah.
it went viral.
One week after the airplane post,
I got political.
And people went wild.
This post was shared so much,
it was the reason I started adding my watermark to every doodle.
then it went more viral.
