Scott Weston, 39, from Stourbridge, West Midlands, turns online musings into humorous illustrations in a bid to be an 'anti-troll' and brighten up the day of fellow users. Pictured (left) is a doodle he created from Ricky Gervais (right) after the comedian tweeted about vacuuming a spider's web in his office

Mr Weston uses Twitter to choose one interesting tweet a day at random, and turns it into a unique doodle. He then tweets the image back to the user and his followers. This doodle shows @helenlcrane's flat immersed in water

'I thought it would be a nice project, so I set up the address one evening and chose a tweet to draw,' said the artist. Pictured on the left-hand side is an image created for Ellie Goulding (right)

'I drew a few doodles and sent them back to the original writer- some people were bemused but most loved it,' Mr Weston said. The project started as a hobby. This drawing shows a tweet of @nadineplease

'By the first weekend, I'd had to turn my phone off due to the volume of alerts I was getting as people followed, responded and re-tweeted,' the Twitter artist said. Doodles inspired by tweets posted by @missshwe (left) and @tooapenny (right) are pictured

Mr Weston has celebrity fans including comedian Ricky Gervais, actor William Shatner (left) and singer Ellie Goulding- all of whom have received pictures from the artist

'Philip Schofield, Ricky Gervais and Wil Wheaton have all shared and responded to my tweets,' said Mr Weston (left), who has become a celebrity himself on Twitter. The image on the right is Mr Weston's take on a tweet by @retrobanks.

Mr Weston is delighted with the response to his pictures and he said: 'I like my tweets to be light-hearted as the internet can be an anonymous and cold place. I'm like an 'anti- troll'- I want to bring some sunshine to it'. This doodle depicts a tweet from @joetannenbaum

Mr Weston, who works a creative head of a digital agency in Birmingham, said: 'I don't do requests but I am more likely to draw a funny tweet from a follower'. Pictured is a sketch he created from Lauren Laverne's tweet about drinking coffee and listening to a 'cinematic orchestra'

'My particular claim to fame is that astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield (left) marked one of my drawings as a favourite (right). It's just spiralled,' said Mr Weston

Mr Weston has no shortage of material with his ever growing online fan base. He said: 'People can be so creative with what they say, and some tweets make great visual images.' This illustration was inspired by a tweet from user @kerryagodliman

'From this small Twitter account, things have grown from here and it would be incredible if I could compile all of my doodles into a book, which would feature the original Tweets and make people laugh,' said Mr Weston. A tweet posted by @craftbeergal is pictured left, while @felicitymorse's tweet is pictured right

Mr Weston is now hoping to compile a book of all of his favourite Twitter illustrations. All of his images can be found on Twitter by following @drawnyourtweet
