Ann Jaafar’s Instagram page is filled with human-like illustrations that also contain many puns that are well-thought out. Ann Jaafar began posting on Instagram in 2012, and has since then garnered nearly 94 000 Instagram followers. Ann’s journey on Instagram started with a post to do with a treasured family member.
Presenting Malaysian culture pun-tastically, her posts are bilingual in both Malay and English. The ones that are really cute involve a riddle: Alat apa yang paling jujur – Lampu sebab terus terang and I’m Sawi. Lettuce Romaine calm and leaf the drama behind. Hope you figured out the second one!
Her other food related jokes and puns are also memorable: I knead to bakar semangat and the accompanying visual of an oven is surely apt. In another, it is written “mahu kaya” with an illustration of a bread and a knife spreading kaya or coconut jam.
Interestingly, Ann also does creative work on property and financial-related issues, making it more appealing to especially the younger generation as well as seasoned professionals. Hustle demi hasil is just one of the many catchy examples.
Owing to the popularity and candid-ness of her artwork, Ann Jaafar has turned her artwork into pun-believable stickers, sticker sheets, pouch bags, canvas bags, and even T-shirts. Ann Jaafar has also collaborated with a smartphone case maker where her art is used. These items are for sale, as published on her website.
The way she humanises objects like car tyres and vehicle exhausts is one way to get users to visit her Instagram page, check for updates and perhaps even make a purchase on her website. She, like many others, also bases her artwork on her own experiences and feelings, as she has captioned in one of her sticker-related posts, derived from her original material.
As it turns out, from other sources, Ann is actually not good with words. However, from the looks of her page, Ann draws inspiration from her own family, festivals and public holidays, everyday life, as well as new experiences like the much-debated COVID-19 pandemic. Like many other creatives, she will turn these into pun-ny and goofy.
So, if you’re looking for something just to put a smile on your face or have a good laugh, what you’re waiting for?
