Shitty Watercolour, the online alias of British artist Hector Janse van Rensburg, became a Reddit legend by replying to random comments with quick, charmingly messy watercolor illustrations. Starting in 2012, his style evolved from intentionally 'shitty' to a refined, highly expressive aesthetic that captures human vulnerability, social anxiety, and everyday humor. His work often features a self-insert character navigating life's awkward moments, making it a favorite for memes about mental health, internet culture, and personal growth. The memes using his art typically emphasize relatability and the beauty found in imperfection, resonating deeply with anyone who feels slightly out of place in a polished world.
