The post Malaysian Illustrator is Capturing Adventures of Their Sassy Black Cat appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>The artist, who goes by JK on Instagram, stumbled upon a black cat behind their housing area and it was love at first sight! They’ve been inseparable ever since, and JK is trying to convey the sassiness and complexity of black cats through their funny illustrations.
“I adopted a cat in early 2021, and I am really into her grumpy and sassy cattitude; that’s how the whole story started. I observe her, play with her, and I blend her cattitude with my sarcastic nature into the painting,” the artist told Bored Panda.
JK doesn’t have a traditional art background and describes themselves as “a self-taught and always learning artist.” Their illustrations are mainly inspired by Pow Pow, and the artist is trying to capture her colors, textures, and emotions with each brushstroke.
Since embarking on this journey, Pow Pow’s adventures attracted almost 270,000 followers to the Instagram page @st.aftercigs. It can take anywhere between 3-5 days for JK to finish their illustrations, but they’re certainly worth the wait.

It’s only been a few years since Cain started sharing her work online in 2020 and she quickly built an impressive following of over 230,000 people on Instagram. She also worked with many major brands, such as MTV and Rare Beauty, and was even invited to the White House as a mental health advocate.

]]>Rister was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, and she’s not actually a baker or a cook by trade. She has a background in graphic design, which proved to be a useful skill when she decided to start The Cupcake Floristry, her small business that allowed her to combine her design experience with her love for cake decorating.
(@the.cupcake.floristry)Rister enjoyed baking for as long as she could remember, and she eventually decided to transform her side hustle into a real business.
“I began by baking for family, friends, and colleagues and was always told that I should ‘make this a business.’ Over the years I have attended many workshops and watched hundreds of tutorials… In between jobs last year I decided to ‘give this a go’, and the rest is history,” she wrote on Instagram.
Rister enjoys making everything from sugar cookies to macarons, but cupcakes are her specialty and they truly blossomed into something amazing in her hands. She’s best known for making cupcake bouquets that have to be seen to be believed because they look just like real flowers.

]]>Winkler was always passionate about creating content and he shifted from YouTube to TikTok after this social media platform started picking up some steam. His page The Food Guy is now followed by almost 10 million people, and he owes it all to viral videos that show him eating all sorts of different foods.
@tommywinkler Replying to @timefortheencore You guys r making it more difficult for me to eat #thefoodguy #foodtok #lottery #kingofcrunch #budget #fyp ♬ mario sound – mandycap
Winkler has always been very passionate about food, and he initially posted short clips that show what he eats in a day. His videos blew up, especially once he started taking suggestions from his followers and trying new foods – but he’s not picking these comments at random.
“People think, ‘Oh just go to your comment section and pick a comment. For me, it’s more when I see the comment, I need to visualize a whole video because I like to get creative within my videos. I like to throw in jokes,” he told Today.
@tommywinkler Replying to @jakeodea1 This may look delicious and it was but my body was not feeling it after #thefoodguy #foodtok #oreo #cookie #kingofcrunch ♬ Spongebob Tomfoolery Dante9k Remix
We’ve seen Winkler eat at Shake Shack and Panda Express for an entire day, live off nothing but fruit, and only eat heart-shaped foods on Valentine’s Day, and his challenges are just getting wilder and wilder as time goes by.

She’s been honing her baking skills for quite some time, and she eventually decided to share them with the world, attracting 160,000 followers on Instagram and 280,000 more on TikTok, where her videos attracted over 10 million views.

]]>The post Evan M. Cohen’s Colorful Illustrations Speak Volumes appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Evan Matthew Cohen is an illustrator, animator, and comic book artist based in the Midwest. He attracted over 440,000 followers to his Instagram page over the course of the past decade and worked with many high-profile clients, from Apple to the New York Times.
Cohen was into comic books, cartoons, and video games from a young age, and he had a knack for art early on. He got used to carrying a sketchbook and pens everywhere he went but made a shift to digital art after college and started focusing on comics instead of individual drawings.
Cohen’s comics often have a spiritual feel and they’ll make you reflect on life’s big questions, but he believes it’s up to each of us to find our own answers.
“In the end it hopefully provides some answers for me and anyone that sees it. I want the work to feel timeless and be about a things we all experience. There should be common ground for everyone to find something in the work, regardless of background or belief,” the artist told Booooooom.

]]>The post That Vegan Dad is Sharing Hilarious Clips About Plant-Based Lifestyle appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Every vegan has their own reason to embrace this lifestyle, and Rock’s is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. His youngest son suffered from severe eczema at a young age, and his whole family went vegan to support him after a small change in his diet made things better.
“My wife and I began to research and found that dairy has a strong connection to eczema and decided to cut out dairy completely from our family’s diet. It instantly cleared up our son’s eczema and this is where our vegan journey began,” he explained on his official website.
Rock initially went vegan for his family, but the list of reasons to stick to this lifestyle piled up over time. In addition to embracing this diet to combat animal cruelty, he’s also hoping his content will change the misconception about men in the vegan community. Like most food bloggers, Rock is no stranger to sharing vegan recipes, but he’s now best known thanks to his viral clips about the ups and downs of the vegan lifestyle.
