I’ve seen some ingenious tweets in my time, but Gregory Wadsworth manages to use [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) in a way that’s both inspirational and mostly wordless. Seen here are various [cartoon portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketchmeapp) he’s rendered using only the characters available to him on a keyboard. He manages to draw, with great detail, the likes of Mickey Mouse, Goofy, [Donald Duck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld), Felix the Cat, Porky Pig and much more, all while being constrained to Twitter’s 140 character limit. I don’t like giving unnecessary praise, but in Wadsworth’s case, it’s a definite must.

When he’s not busy running one of the coolest Twitter accounts around, Gregory Wadsworth works as a digital artist who specializes in 3D imaging. He tweets images daily, so be sure to follow to have your mind blown by quirky art on a regular basis.
