The Doodle Boy
Earlier this year, 12-year-old Joe Whale, nicknamed The Doodle Boy, signed an art deal with Nike.
Joe, who lives in Shrewsbury in England, will work with the famous sports brand on some special projects.
“Joe is really excited to join the Nike family,” his father told the media.
Joe posts his doodle art on Instagram, where he has 136,000 followers.
His creative illustrations include aliens, monsters, and cafeteria food “that came to life.”
He has also invented cartoon characters such as the “Praying Turtle” and “Cool Dog.”
In 2020, Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, asked Joe to draw illustrations of their royal train trip across the UK to support workers during the pandemic.
The royal couple praised his art and, in a Twitter post, encouraged him to “keep up the good work.”
On his Web site, Joe says that doodling makes him feel like “the happiest person in the world.”
