Audrey Hopkins (aka Audity or AudityDraws) has grown a fan following by chasing her love of character design and not taking her art too seriously.

Her 13.2 million followers on TikTok revel over her imaginative mash-ups, like re-imagining Disney villains as Disney princesses or turning Bluey characters into human incarnations. But her greatest muse has been her husband, Richard Conley. She's drawn him as a merman, Sailor Moon, Handsome Squidward, and many more creative characters. All to the delight of her audience and Conley himself, who collaborated with her on an inspiration app, called Wanna Draw, which generates mash-up ideas for artists of all sorts.

As someone who has enjoyed Audity's art, mischievous sense of fun, and high-energy online persona, I was elated to sit down with her at VidCon 2026 to discuss her journey from character designer to a thriving content creator.

So it's a weird story. Back in the day, when TikTok was first starting, they had these agencies that would go out, and they would find people to post more. 

They would do a thing where they would pay you like 100 bucks a month to post every single day. Most people that were doing the program were just putting out kind of whatever. At the time, I was in between character design jobs. Before that, I had worked on different stuff, or like NBC, or things like that. I basically felt bad that my husband was the only one bringing in money. And I was like, "You know what, 100 bucks a month, that's a bit of groceries — that's something." So I started the program, but I took it more seriously. I was like, I'm actually gonna post my work and do like more fun stuff...  

And also build your portfolio. 

Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I never expected — it was like four months later, I'd hit a million followers. And I remember I got a call from somebody that was like, "Hey," — I'd done a comic book a while back, and they were like, — "We would love you to do a second one." I had to sit there and make a decision, like, "Do I go back to an actual job-job, or do I try to do this?" 

I never thought I could do this. And seven years later, I'm still doing it. 

And your husband's very involved too. How did he come into it?

Basically, my husband and I are constantly around each other because he works from home. Back when I first started filming, I remember he would say stuff sometimes, and I'd be like, "Oh no, don't talk, I'm filming something." 

After a while, I was just like I'm not gonna keep telling him to stop, and I started just turning the camera [to him], whenever he would say something weird, which is often. And he's just been so supportive. When I started doing more art stuff in college, before even looking at TikTok, I was working at Pier One at the same time. And I remember I was so stressed out. He was like, "You know what, quit [Pier One]. I got this, I got us."  And he's taken so much care of me and allowed me to do so much stuff. 

How has imagining him in all these illustrated incarnations impacted how you view him, and how he views himself? 

Actually, when we first started dating, he was like, "I always wondered if you draw me." And I'm like, "Oh, how you regret thinking that now!" But honestly, he's, I mean, is it weird to call him my muse? He really is!

Looking back, what was the first video that really took off that made you think, maybe I can do this full-time?

It might have been when I was doing my 50 states series, or my first time doing one of the fusion videos. Because my whole thing with art is I really firmly believe that art doesn't have to be taken so seriously. 

When I was in college, I started out as a studio painter and a traditional artist. So like, your girl can do still lifes. But everyone else would be like, "My work represents the darkness of society and stuff." And I'd be like, "I drew this really, really hot lady — she's super cool!" 

I kind of leaned into that with that kind of stuff. And with the fusion thing, I liked being able to just take like weird stuff and make this weird creature that was really cool, but didn't serve like a purpose. 

So I think I think those types of videos, and that first one was like the first time it was like, "Whoa, okay." And I think that's why actually, [my husband] ended up building the [Wanna Draw] app that we have, which was so sweet. He literally never had done anything like that in his life before, and just went in like three months sitting at our kitchen table, learning and building that app. Yeah, he's still the only one that runs it.

That's very cool.  So, what do you love about content creation?

Honestly, I think it's the fact that so many people who do art, like you make something cool, and you get to show it to, like, a few people, like your friends, or things like that, and then that's it. 

I get to be like, "Hey, world, look at this weird thing I made!" And, it's so amazing to see so many other people out there who also like that. I think that's my favorite part,  just getting to connect to so many different people and seeing how many different people are alike. 

We all get so trapped in our little bubbles, and it's also great to have like close-knit community. But it's also just so wonderful to have like this wide network of people that are also just so similar, right?

It's also interesting because when people think about big animated shows, they know the people who created the show. But they don't necessarily know all the nuts and bolts people and all the creativity they're bringing to it. So it must be exciting to be able to be like, "I don't need someone else's project to be seen."

I will say there are times when I miss working on things with other people. There's another content creator, a friend of mine, he runs D&D campaigns and everything. His name is Sir Feffers, and I become like his primary character design stuff. So it is nice, I get a little taste of being able to still work like for somebody else.

Is there a big fish dream project that would make you step away for this from content creation for a little bit? 

God, there are so many. It's too many. I really want to do character design work for a video game or something. Honestly, my real dream is to — do you know Dropout?

SEE ALSO: Dropout is a game-changer for comedy and creators Yes! I've interviewed a lot of that team!

They're so cool. I love them so much, but Dimension 20, particularly. I want to draw the characters for a season of theirs. 

Honestly, I've told them before, I'll do it for free. I'll do all the work for free, just let me do it. That's really the big thing. But at the same time, there are so many people who want to work for them, so I get it…Getting to meet Brennan Lee Mulligan for like a moment once was just like — 

He's so lovely. 

Oh my god, he's one of the coolest people. 

Agreed. Where do you find the differences in working in more traditional spaces and working for the internet? 

I think working for the internet is just — it's so chaotic. Because no Disney studio or anything out there is gonna be like, "You know, we really love it if you mix like Pennywise with Tinkerbell." But the internet's like, "We really want more of that, give us that." 

It's like having the most chaotic boss in the world. Because the weirder I get, the happier they are. That's I think the biggest difference is like that, and being able to just freely do what you want. 

I love that. So, a lot of people here at VidCon have been giving tips on what to do when you run out of ideas. What do you do when you hit, a creativity drought? When you're like, "I want to draw, but I don't know where to start."

For dealing with art block and burnout, I usually have like exercises that I do, like drawing the random shapes into faces, stuff that I like. I actually, eventually want to release a book that I make that's called Dealing with Art Block When You're a Character Designer. Because there's so much stuff that I've accumulated throughout the years that I do; tips and tricks. In my videos I can show a little bit of it, but I love to go more in depth. 

But stuff like that, like just finding a new way to do something you're already doing, is like the best way to get past something like that. Because if you're doing the same thing constantly, constantly, constantly, it's gonna get stale, it's gonna get like you're not gonna want to do it, you're like, "I can't keep thinking of ideas for this." If you challenge yourself, you're like, "I'm gonna draw with my left hand or I'm only allowed to draw mice today," or something weird like that. You're gonna make more fun, interesting things, because sometimes having that barrier helps, you know? 

It gives you a starting point to launch from.   

Yeah, exactly. 

Was there a point where you feel that you like made it as a content creator?

I'm still waiting for that point. I literally been talking to the other animators this entire VidCon, and it's funny. They'll all talk about, 'Yeah, back in the old days, like a few years ago." And I'm still feel like I'm new to this. I still feel like I'm making my way. 

What advice would you give to following you starting out in content creation? 

There's no one way to do it. Everybody's gonna have different advice and everything, but my whole thing is make stuff and do stuff that you like. Because you're just as much a viewer as everyone else out there. And if you like something and you enjoy something, I guarantee there are other people out there that like it as well, and enjoy it as well. And also just finding a fun way to do stuff.

Let's say you're somebody who really likes gaming, but you're like, "I wish there was somebody who did it like this." You'll be the person that does it like that. Go do it! Just try it!

It's no mystery that there's a bountiful harvest of excellent open-source apps for Android. All five of the utilities in this article should be on your phone if they're not already. They are all open source, have no ads or trackers, and they all just work.

Modern free and open-source (FOSS) apps are incredibly capable—in fact, I’d argue some are even more powerful than their paid counterparts. The problem is that, because they’re free, most FOSS projects don’t have the budget for major marketing campaigns. That means word of mouth is often the best—and sometimes the only—way to discover them. This week, I’ve rounded up three trending FOSS apps that are picking up serious momentum and are good enough to become your new defaults.

And with that, The Bear has come to an end. Hulu's Emmy-winning drama released all eight episodes of season 5 on June 25. That was the final season, so don't expect new episodes this time next June. The Bear will always hold a special place in my heart as the rare instance where I preferred binge-watching over a weekly release.

Pressured by recent lawsuits claiming Uber didn't do enough to prevent sexual assault, the ride-sharing company has announced stricter background check requirements for drivers.

"After listening to a wide range of feedback, we’ve broadened the criteria for convictions that permanently disqualify someone from driving or delivering with Uber," the company wrote in a recent blog post. "Our goal is to build the safest platform."

SEE ALSO: Meta is pushing for social media exclusions in new child safety regulation

The new review process expands on existing driver requirements, permanently banning drivers with convictions that "may be sexual in nature." The new rules also disqualify drivers with misdemeanor or felony stalking and strangulation-related offenses because they "can be predictors of future violence," Uber explains. The company says the changes were influenced by recommendations from domestic violence prevention experts and civil rights groups.

In addition, background checks will be run for the driver's entire lifetime (technically 99 years). Previously, Uber's third-party background checks providers only ran Social Security Number (SSN) traces for the previous seven years.

The company stated the new requirements will not retroactively apply to existing driver accounts "with no serious interpersonal safety-related complaints of any kind," and if their conviction is "more than 15 years old and was not sexual in nature." The checks are still rolling out to drivers nationwide.

Multiple New York Times investigations have revealed an industry-wide prevalence of violent altercations with ride-share drivers, perpetrated primarily against female riders. A December exposé alleged Uber's background check protocols still approved drivers with violent felony convictions.

In February, Uber was deemed partially liable for the rape and assault of a ride-share passenger, who alleged the company failed to implement safety provisions that could have prevented the assault. The case included internal documents showing her ride was flagged as a safety concern, but the app did not notify her or authorities. Uber was ordered to pay $8.5 million instead of the requested $144 million in damages.

California is weighing new child-safety legislation that could fine social media companies millions of dollars — and Meta is attempting to dodge the astronomical fees from hundreds of pending lawsuits, anonymous insiders told Politico.

Meta lobbyists have approached lawmakers with suggested amendments that would carve out exceptions for social media platforms before the bill goes into a hearing set for Tuesday. The amendments include a pathway to avoid fines if companies implement a series of default child-safety settings, such as tools to disable autoplay, direct messaging restrictions, and explicit content moderation.

Many social media companies have already launched said features under minor accounts. Child safety advocates argue they don't do enough to protect children.

SEE ALSO: Trump is threatening a 100% tariff on European goods. Again.

Meta's suggested changes include another safe harbor trade-off: Social media companies could avoid fines if their platforms include parental controls that let parents restrict screen time and monitor their kids' activity. Many experts argue that parental controls are equally ineffective at reducing childhood exposure to harmful content.

Without these amendments, the bill, known as AB 2, could result in fines of up to $1 million per child if a company is found liable for endangering young users through negligent product design.

In March, Meta lost a court case that ruled the platform, as well as its competitor Google, failed to fix platform design features that resulted in harm to minor mental health. Meta was separately ordered to pay $375 million by a New Mexico jury that ruled the platform was deceptively advertising its platform as safe for children.

Meta recently revamped its minor safety tools, including automatic age detection and global Teen Accounts with stricter content and communication controls.

Amid ongoing litigation, the company has denied all claims that its youth safety features are ineffective.

"Teen mental health is profoundly complex and cannot be linked to a single app. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously as every case is different, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online," Meta said in a statement following the March ruling.

July is shaping up to be a busy but amazing month for Netflix users. With summer titles dominating the platform right now, there's plenty of new content to watch. Alongside a fresh batch of Netflix Originals, the streamer is adding several acclaimed movies and fan-favorite TV shows to its library.

If you're shopping for some new Apple gadgets after Prime Day, you're still in luck. While some of Amazon's deals have sold out, we still have plentiful Apple deals at Walmart. And the timing couldn't be better because earlier this week, Apple raised some of its prices on account of the global RAM shortage. AirPods and Apple Watches are unaffected (for now), but all MacBooks and iPads are now at least $100 more expensive than they were before — even the budget MacBook Neo.

Some MacBooks and iPads are now sold out at Amazon (and other major retailers) following the price hikes. However, many models are still available there at steep discounts. They're not labeled as on sale anymore, but they're significantly cheaper than what the Apple Store is now charging. See: the entry-level iPad, the 11-inch M4 iPad Air, the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, and the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro.

That ordeal aside, I'm happy (relieved?) to say that the best Prime Day deals on Apple Watches, AirPods, and Apple accessories like AirTags are still holding pretty steady even after the sale. Keep in mind that they probably won't hang around for much longer. Procrastinate at your own risk.

Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price.

Apple's stylish over-ear headphones were updated in April with the H2 chip, bringing better noise cancellation and support for software features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Live Translation. They dropped down to just $399 — a 27% savings and their lowest price ever (by a lot). Amazon's stock has sold out at this price, but they're still holding on at Walmart in blue and purple. This is a shockingly good deal, considering the original AirPods Max took several years to hit the same price.

We're officially past Prime Day now. But if you know Amazon, then you know some of the best deals are still live. So, if you're in need of fresh earbuds, you're in luck.

As of June 27, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds are still on sale at Amazon for $199, a cool $100 discount from their usual price of $299. This matches the earbuds' record-low price at Amazon. Multiple Mashable reporters have tested these buds, and they've received a unanimous recommendation so far. In fact, this innovative product helped push open earbuds into the mainstream, inspiring a host of imitators. Like bone-conduction products, they also keep you in tune with your surroundings, which makes them popular with runners and athletes.

Open earbuds are a bit of a hybrid design. They're great for people who don't like the feel of something plugging their ears up but also don't like the feel of headphones. Instead, open earbuds sit on the outside of the ear, and according to Mashable's guide to the best open earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open are the best choice if you value comfort and sound.

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) earbuds.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are some of the best I've tried, but even at their sale price, they're a hefty investment. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds don't quite match up in sound quality, they still have some of the best noise cancellation available, and are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. For $249 (normally $299), or roughly $17 less, they're the deal to beat this Prime Day.

Read our full review of the Sony LinkBuds Clip.

Bose was the near-undisputed champion of open earbuds with top-notch sound — that is, until the Sony LinkBuds Clip came along. In my head-to-head testing of the earbuds, I found that while the Bose Ultra Open buds can get louder (an important feature in open earbuds), the clarity and detail of the sound in the Sony buds surpassed that of the Bose. Even though their price discrepancy is only $20 this Prime Day, the sub-$200 price point on the Sony earbuds is hard to pass up.

Secure Folder is an old Samsung feature that most people probably don’t think they need. It sounds like something for CEOs or spies. However, there’s one part of Secure Folder that often gets overlooked, and it can be useful to anyone.

One of the most universal experiences that I'm sure computer geeks can relate to is that friends and family approach us whenever they have a computer problem. As my family's designated IT guy, I hear cries for help on a monthly basis.

The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra have always shared a platform and a family of engines, but they have been aimed at different buyers. In so many words, they are similar trucks but not exactly the same. It might be said that the Silverado handled the volume, reaching a wider swath of everyday buyers, while the Sierra leaned more toward the premium side.
