Instagram has become riddled with so many photos of kitty cats, inspirational sayings and kitty cats spouting inspirational sayings that it has become nearly impossible to find fun and interesting feeds to follow without spending hours staring at your iPhone. So we did it for you.
This is not so much a “best of” list as a starting point that should open your mind to what else is out there in the great big Insta-world.
@unicornchronicles
Team Unicorn is committed to its meme. The Unicorn (@unicornchronicles) has been at it since May 2014, visiting the White House, Lakers games and even Comic-Con. It’s not hard to understand why this feed already boasts 32,000 followers. If you love unicorns, memes or just a little levity in your Instagram feed, give The Unicorn a follow.
@mumblestohimself
You gotta love anyone whose tagline is “Someday I’ll grow up.” Hoang Tran (@mumblestohimself) is carving some of our favorite childhood characters out of crayons. No more needs to be said.
@templesmith
Self-described artist, writer and slacker Ben Templesmith (@templesmith) has apparently figured out how to make a living doing what many of us dreamed of when we were in high school … doodling our favorite comic book heroes and villains. Templesmith takes all that doodling to a whole new level. Check him out.
@puisheen
Here’s one for all you guitar geeks. Michael James Adams (@puisheen) is part guitar-repair magician, part ax-wielding musician and part deep-seated Star Wars nerd. He is also really good about using Instagram as a platform to share information. He has a penchant for Fender offset guitars, but there is something for everyone in his feed. (While you’re at it, check out Adams’ former guitar shop, Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar (@mmguitarbar.)
@jeredgruber
Jered and Ashley Gruber appear to be living the life. They travel the world, attend the biggest bicycle races and make the pretty pictures. If you can’t get to France for Paris-Roubaix, following @jeredgruber is the next best thing.
@adamjones_tv
Adam Jones (@adamjones_tv) is the guitar player for Tool and a Hollywood visual effects artist. Brace yourself for a mix of rock ‘n’ roll snapshots and bizarre horror art.
@mwilkas
Matthew Wilkas (@mwilkas) promises to be stupid every single day. And we think he is winning. Follow him to see if you agree.
@cultofmac
Shameless self-promotion, sure. But Cult of Mac (@cultofmac) does make the pretty Apple photos.
