A Kansas artist, Trent Landreth, has achieved remarkable online success with his animal drawings, amassing millions of followers across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. His journey began approximately ten years ago when a video of him drawing animals on a trampoline with chalk went viral after being shared by his mother.
This widespread popularity has enabled Landreth's family to establish a successful business, "Drawings by Trent." They sell a variety of products featuring his artwork, including coloring books, stickers, T-shirts, and mugs. His parents play a crucial role in managing the business operations, from recording videos to handling merchandise and customer orders.
The family's venture is also driven by a broader mission to promote the inclusion of individuals with diverse needs in everyday society. Landreth's father emphasizes the personal growth that comes from sharing their experiences. Products like the best-selling coloring book, "Trent's View of the Zoo," highlight his unique artistic vision.
Future expansion includes a new activity book scheduled for an early 2027 release, planned for availability at Walmart stores nationwide. Landreth also participates in meet-and-greet events across the United States with his parents, sharing his art and engaging with fans.
