Shaun Todd McBride (born July 7, 1989)[1] is an American Artist and Social Media personality. He's known as a Snapchatter, Viner, and Youtuber. He is best known as Shonduras, on Snapchat, for his finger-drawings.[2][3]
History
Shonduras was born in West Point, Utah.[citation needed] Shonduras currently lives with his wife, in Layton, Utah. He moved there in 2014.[citation needed] In August 2006 through August 2008[4], Shaun went on an LDS mission trip to Honduras.[5] When he got back home, his friends called Shaun, "Shonduras." It was a combination of "Shaun" and "Honduras." Thus his online name.[citation needed]
Discovery
Shonduras had, at first, made a Snapchat account to share his adventures with his family. He then started drawing on Snapchat, and sent his drawings to his family. He started getting popular after he had doodled an old lady, that had rainbow hair, into a pony. He had sent it to his sisters, and they showed it to their friends at school. They then started adding him to see more of his Snapchat art.[6] That is where his audience first started really growing. Shonduras' audience has become so big that, by advertising through Snapchat, snapchatting has become his job.[7] Shonduras is also Snapchat's first homegrown celebrity.[8][9]
Snapchat Stories
Daily, Shonduras is creating content on Snapchat. He Snapchats every adventure of his, to share with his fans. His stories have included him walking a tiger and riding an elephant in Thailand, him flying in a helicopter over glaciers in Alaska, him at Disneyland, Disney World, and backstage at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.[10] However, his stories can be created from day-to-day things, too. Such as him gaming with friends, skateboarding with friends, going to the dentist, or waiting at airports. No matter what he may be up to, he turns it into a Snapchat story. Entitled "Make My Monday," he completes dares that are sent to him by his fans every Monday.[11] Shonduras participated in "SnapperHero." SnapperHero was Snapchat's very first webisode series, as well as Snapchat's largest project ever.[12]
Nominations and Awards
In the 7th annual Shorty Awards, Shonduras was a finalist in "The best Snapchatter" category.[13] In the 5th annual Streamy Awards, Shonduras was nominated for both "Best Short Form Creativity" and "Best Snapchat Storyteller." SnapperHero, which Shonduras was a big part of, won the Streamy Award for "Best Short Form Creativity." Shonduras won the "Best Snapchat Storyteller" Streamy award.[14]
