About Drawings By Trent
Welcome!
We're the Landreth (and Moore) family from El Dorado, KS. Drawings by Trent started in 2016 after a video of Trent drawing animals on our trampoline with sidewalk chalk upside down went viral on FaceBook. If you don't already know about Trent, he is an individual with level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder with no conversational speech and an incredible artistic ability but no voice to share his gift with the world. In 2021 after not being able to do in person events due to covid, we were ready to give up on this dream for Trent. Then Trent's mom started a TikTok to highlight Trent's drawings and share about a podcast we had begun called Used Up Pens (we share about our lives, Trent's diagnosis, his struggles and successes and how we as a family dealt with the challenges of living with a sometimes violent Trent). It took 19 weeks for Trent's TikTok to reach 1 million followers! Since then his social media following has grown to over 3.5 million, including 1.1 million on Facebook, and continues to grow steadily with many multi-million view videos, including one - bear eating pizza drawing video - with over 53 million views alone!
Drawings by Trent exists to fund Trent's future and make sure that long after we, his parents, are gone he is able to help provide for his own needs. Along the way we want to help encourage other families who are struggling with a diagnosis or other challenges, we want to educate communities on the important role that individuals of every skill level can play and we want to inspire everyone through Trent's unmistakable art and infectious attitude.
Thanks for stopping by, for shopping Trent's store and for helping us help Trent and people all over the world!
Trent's dad, Corey
