Guy Spends 5 Years Illustrating 250 First World Problems, Meanwhile Taylor Swift Steals His Name

Nils Sjöberg is an illustrator who runs a tumblr blog where he draws cheeky illustrations about various first world problems. Nils says the idea for these illustrations came when he could find a soda for his sick friend: "Did I cry over soda water? Yeah, sure I did. And that was where my blog idea was born". Since the start of the blog he has illustrated about 250 first world problems for people all over the world. Nils gets his inspiration from his followers: "People send me their problems, I let my followers vote on which one I shall pick, then I draw." Nils is a pretty funny guy, here's a story he shared: "In 2016 I discovered that Taylor Swift used my name, Nils Sjöberg, as a pseudonym when writing pop songs with Calvin Harris. Definitely a first world problem. I illustrated it and it went crazy viral. In 2017 Taylor Swift buried me in her new video. I illustrated it again. And once again it went viral." Nils' blog will turn five in September and the artist says time has come to move on with another project. But until then he plans on illustrating more first world problems and is happy to receive peoples' suggestions. Check out his hilarious illustrations in the gallery below!
