After one week, the sock was still there. That’s when Cambell decided to have some fun. She made a miniature label making the sock a piece of artwork done by her daughter herself. But she didn’t expect such a creative “answer” from her kid. And that’s how their little game started.

“My daughter and I have a wonderful, communicative relationship,” the mom wrote on her Facebook profile. “We are very silly together and understand the importance of being ridiculous and absurd. I honestly did not expect this post to go viral—it was just another silly thing we did.”

The hilarious post soon went viral, where it has reached over 55,000 reactions and 136,000 shares. Moved by people’s reactions, Campbell asked her followers to donate to an organization called Jumping Mouse Children’s Centre that does play-based therapy with children who have gone through some kind of trauma.

“I like my work to engage a wide audience, so there are elements that appeal to young children and also an older generation,” she added in an interview with AG Gallery. “My main objective when creating new work for exhibition is to incite feelings of comfort, joy and nostalgia – when I make a piece that encapsulates all of these elements, I am satisfied with the work!”

Working with no template or prior pattern, each of her pieces is one of a kind, making it all the more unique in an age of mass production. “I like to devise new characters all the time!” says the Melbourne-based artist. “I get an idea in my head or sketch something out and am not satisfied until I work it up into a 3D character.”

A creative at heart, Rabbit experiments with other mediums as well. Aside from her soft sculptures, she has also published children’s books and has collaborated with her good pal and artist, Isobel Knowles, under the name Soft Stories.

Here are some highlights from her Instagram page:

It all began with the birth of her first child. “I designed her birth announcement and I really loved working on the illustrations,” she relayed in an interview with the Printed blog. Soon, an experimentation with color and shapes began. “My first illustrations were mainly colorful animals, personalized name prints and cartoons,” she says.

Years later, and now a proud mother of two, her brand is steadily growing, introducing more designs and merchandise. With a background in fashion design, Poppekins provides a different sort of creative outlet for van der Meer.

And with two small children running around, inspiration is aplenty. “They inspire me every day with their curious outlook on life and all the funny things they say,” she admits. “Their colorful toys and books give me so much inspiration too.”

Here’s a brand that both children and parents can enjoy!

A juxtaposition of brushwork, text, and collage, her work is very much inspired by Japanese manga and anime aesthetic. “Many people are now familiar with kawaii or Japanese ‘cute,’” she told WOW x WOW. “I am interested in cuteness as an artistic tool. I deal with very serious and negative themes in my work. It takes a lot of bravery to face what scares us, or disgusts us, whatever is causing negativity in our lives.”

Through a combination of motifs, that show up throughout her work, she hopes to create a sort of universal language – communicating her artwork to a wide range of audiences. “I want my work to be understood based purely on the image itself, without looking at explanations or translations,” she says.

Based in Nagano, Japan, Shimoda has exhibited her work in galleries around the world, including Japan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. But you can also follow her on Instagram.

“I draw, cut and paint various black lines and shapes, scan them into my Mac, add color in Photoshop, and arrange them in layers until it looks like a picture,” he shared in an interview with AI-AP, talking about his creative process.

His style is a sort of mixture between mid-century art and design and pop culture references from his youth. “The picture books I read as a kid, music videos, films, and my mom’s record collection seeped into my creative DNA,” he explained. “The design influence comes from having worked as a graphic designer for three years or so before becoming an illustrator. When I make a piece of art, I move shapes and colors the same way that a designer lays out a page. There’s a flatness to my images that stems from that graphic design process.”

Indeed, his work also includes designing book jackets and posters, as well as regular editorial art for magazines and newspapers including The New York Times and The New Yorker. Here are some of our favorite pieces by him.

This is especially true for parents. As much as they love sharing the most angelic moments of their kids’ lives, they don’t shy away from posting something cringy or embarrassing that’s happened. Especially if it’s hilarious at the same time.

Below are some of the best situations parents of 4-year-olds have encountered and shared with the world on Twitter. They sum up the reality of a life with a toddler pretty well, in case you were wondering what it was like to have one.

Enjoy!

4yo: Can you read me one more book?

Me: No kiddo, it's time for bed.

4yo: But I'm a curious woman. And reading books helps me learn things and be smarter. Don't you want me to learn things and be smarter?

My 4yo has met his younger brother for the first time. Walks up to the crib, pats him on the leg, and says, "You'll get through this," then walks away.

Every morning my 4yo tells me it’s a “blank day” because nothing good or bad has happened yet. At night, if anything remotely negative happened, she pretends to throw the memory into a garbage can to make room for more good memories.

So basically she’s already smarter than I am.

4yo: Can I have ice cream? Think about what I said.

After a 2011 earthquake, Coco and her family moved from the Japanese city of Fukushima to Harajuku. Her parents opened up a vintage store called “Funktique” and that’s the place where Coco learned to express herself through fashion.

Growing up surrounded by clothes seem to have determined Coco’s love for fashion from an early age. You can see some of the photos from her Instagram account below and, of course, follow her for more.

Chris focuses on small adventures he and his family have and illustrates daily situations with a great sense of humor. As he said to HuffPost, “Lunarbaboon was created as a way for me to combat my anxiety and depression. There is a lot of bad things happening in the world, but there is also a lot of good. I am very lucky to be married to a very smart, strong, opinionated person who is constantly fighting against injustice. A lot of what she and I talk about on a daily basis makes it into the comics.”
