Discovery

In 2014, Shonduras had made a Snapchat account to share his adventures with his family.[15][16] He started drawing on Snapchat, and sent his drawings to only his friends and family. He started getting popular after he had doodled an elderly woman into a My Little Pony character with rainbow hair.[17] He had sent it to his sisters, and they showed it to their friends at school. They started adding him to see more of his Snapchat art which is where his audience first started to grow.[18] Shonduras' audience became so big that by advertising through Snapchat, it had become his job.[19] Shonduras was one of Snapchat's first content creators to gain a following.[20][21] In 2015, he bought a Canon 70D DSLR to start vlogging his life and is still doing it to this day with the same camera.
