For most of us, Snapchat is a way to give our friends a window into mostly irrelevant 10-second snippets of our lives—but for film student Jeremy Abdo, Snapchat is bringing in thousands of dollars. According to Cosmopolitan, Abdo, who attends UT Austin, does custom Snapchat drawings as a side hustle that earns him money from friends and clients.
BroBible reports that the young college student fulfilled requests ranging from party invites to a drawing to help a friend explain to his parents that he wrecked his car. “The weirdest request I’ve drawn,” Abdo told BroBible, “was when some guy actually paid me to turn a photo of his poop into Mr. Hanky from South Park.”
As a way to document his increasing collection of Snapchat drawings, he posts each finished project onto his Instagram profile. Abdo has worked with large-scale chains, such as Dairy Queen and Krispy Kreme and plans to continue drawing while still studying film. He’s even used some of the money he’s made to travel to meet other artists and invest in better drawing tools. Snapchat as a job…he’s living the dream!
