Don Mupasi's 130,000 followers on Instagram have helped him turn his hobby - visual art - into something he can make money from.
"It's basically
a full time job at this moment," the 25-year-old tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.

But 130,000 followers isn't quite the same as 58 million.
So when Don got a message about Chris Brown's Instagram account reposting one of his videos - with no mention of where the video came from - it was a bittersweet feeling.

Almost 50 vehicles have been removed from residential streets in Manchester and nearly 3,000 fines issued in a crackdown on holidaymakers' cars parked near the city's airport.
Last year, the city council set up a dedicated enforcement team to deal with issues caused by "rogue" meet-and-greet companies leaving cars in Wythenshawe.

According to figures seen by the BBC, the council has made 25,000 callouts.
But some residents say the crackdown has not made any difference.

A 76-year-old woman was mugged twice in two weeks by the same robber.
Lee Davenport, from Stockport, was jailed for seven years and two months on Monday at Manchester Crown Court, after he admitted carrying out both muggings.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said Davenport snatched the woman's bag as she walked home from the supermarket on 10 June in Stockport.

His second robbery 13 days later left her needing hospital treatment.



GMP said the second attack by Davenport, of Mount Pleasant, Hazel Grove, left the woman with a severe injury to her right shoulder and "has meant the woman can no longer live alone and care for herself".

Manchester Mayor may miss 'rough sleeper's' target.

[St Chads Lad]

A politician of Burnham's calibre not fulfilling his promises? Can't be true, surely this pointless blurt did some research before making a pledge like this   or maybe he's just a waste of space and cash.

The family of a nine-year-old girl with severe brain damage have been told her NHS-funded home care could end because she no longer qualifies for help.
Tehyah Solan-Clarke, from Saddleworth, suffered damage to 90% of her brain after a series of strokes in 2014.
Her care was due to end in January, before Oldham East and Saddleworth MP Debbie Abrahams' intervention led NHS bosses to agree to meet her family.

An NHS spokesman said the meeting would determine "safe and appropriate" care.
Tehyah's mother Sam Solan said the situation was "scary, because the carers are a massive help".

I think she needs all the care necessary which is available

[Parky]

Indeed ,I can think of a lot of things in the nhs which could be scrapped to fund her care .

Here's another baby in need of a duty of care:
