10-Year-Old Instagram Star Decorates Local Restaurant

Joe Whale is a 10-year-old kid better known for his pseudonym The Doodle Boy. Although the English boy was doing great in school, being placed in the gifted program when he was only four years old, and played football and cricket, his love for art was the biggest.

But, it got him into some troubles at school; he was constantly doodling on the whiteboard in class. That is when his parents decided to enroll him in an after-school art class.

“I absolutely LOVE to doodle! I first got interested in art when I was about 6 years old and loved making monsters come to life. I attend an art class called BLOOM and get my inspiration for the book series from Tom Gates which I love to read,” Whale shared on his personal website.

He got so good, that he got hired by a local restaurant to decorate their walls. If you want to see his artwork, have a look at Instagram, or check out his website.
