With an abundance of news, celebrity feuds, and mundane thoughts flooding Twitter at every given moment, it seems unlikely that anyone is paying attention to the tweets rolling down their feed for longer than a few seconds. Unlike everyone else on Twitter, however, the artist behind Drawn Your Tweet actually peruses the social network looking for funny tweets to recreate visually.
"I wanted to see what kind of reaction a drawing can have when sent to a stranger. It's a random act but hopefully it's something that will put a smile on their face," Drawn Your Tweet wrote in an email. "I believe a platform like Twitter opens up so many opportunities for creative folk like myself as well as people with a more serious message to convey."
The anonymous artist first started posting cartoon depictions of other Twitter users' tweets at the beginning of February and has only recently launched into fame. "Now I've got a fair few followers, choosing a tweet to draw is quite a task! I'll will just trawl Twitter looking for a tweet I know can be turned into an amusing or interesting drawing," he elaborated.
Though Drawn Your Tweets does not take requests, you never know, maybe one of your tweets will end up being recreated as a sweet cartoon, too. In the meantime, check out The Funniest Illustrations by @DrawnYourTweet.

There's no way you can eat an egg that looks like Death Star without fearing for your life/planet.
just had a poached egg which looked like the death star

'80s Diana Ross hair was the bomb, though.

Seems like a totally legitimate fear to us.

Here's the first illustration Drawn Your Tweet ever made. If only everyone looked as cute as this tomato in the winter.
My cheeks get so red when I'm cold, I look like a tomato

The carrot looks genuinely terrified, as most people probably would be.
Cooking a roast. Parsnips are weird. It's like a carrot and a potato had an affair.

When it's art, milk can do anything.
Milk doesn't just get up and walk away.

This Tweet sparked quite a debate amongst Twitter users. Is it "octopuses" or "octopi?"
My Sunday morning guilty pleasure is always guessing what the Big Questions will be. Do octopuses need Jesus? I swearing ungodly?

This user probably never imagined someone would one day depict her as a dinosaur.
Rawwwrrrr ... I mean yawn. When I'm tired I turn into a dinosaur.

Any Scrabble fans awake now? We have a heated debate going on.

Can't say we've ever thought of "ham and eggs" like this before. To us, it's just food, but Drawn Your Tweet's illustration makes us feel bad for the little pig.
