Kid Told Not to Doodle in Class Gets Hired by Local Restaurant to Decorate their Walls
Article from Twisted Sifter website
Nine-year-old Joe Whale was doing great at school. According to his
Dad, Greg, he was excelling in academics and even got placed into the
gifted program at age 4. He also loved playing football and cricket but
his biggest passion was by far, drawing. And it was this love that was
getting him into a bit of trouble.
Apparently Joe was frustrated at the little amount of art he could do
at school, so he resorted to constantly doodling on the whiteboard in
class, which in turn drew disapproval from his teachers.
So his parents decided to enroll him in an after-school art class
where he flourished. His art teacher was so impressed with his work that
she (with permission) shared some of his drawings on Instagram where it
was spotted by a local restaurant (Number 4 in Shrewsbury, England) who reached out to hire Joe to decorate their interior.
The rest is as you say, history. Joe now has a blossoming online
following where he calls himself ‘The Doodle Boy’, and looks forward to
growing and nurturing his passion for art.
