當小傻豬出現在微信上時，這張表情包立刻火了起來，在第一個月裡，3000萬次人們用它來表達自己的情感。這隻淘氣的小豬和其他古怪的動物的網絡貼畫風靡一時，給了他們背後的藝術家一種賺錢和贏得粉絲的方式。

River Rui, creator of Silly Piggy, was able to leave her office job with a design firm and set up as an independent artist thanks to her success. 「Silly Piggy is more like how I am in my little world and how I interact with my friends. It’s that Silly Piggy kind of style,」 said Rui.

independent [ˌɪndɪˈpendənt]The pig has many moods: he types furiously at his desk as tears stream down his face. He lays flat on the office floor as his spirit leaves his body. "Basically anyone who has done overtime will have the same feelings as him," Unlike memes and animated GIFs popular outside China, instant messaging stickers are often original creations of local artists who can see their little characters enjoy spectacular popularity among the country’s 847 million mobile internet users and spread offline through commercial licensing deals.

「Friends feel proud of me when people they know share my stickers and they tell them 『I know the person who made those' and they feel proud. It's really flattering and makes me very happy,」 Rui said. Now more than two-thirds of her income comes from her cartoon pig, through licensing and selling .Merchandise online, including soft toys and keychains. WeChat also allows people to send money to the artists directly via the application.
「朋友們為我感到驕傲，當他們的朋友分享我的表情包的時候，他們說我認識那個人，他們感到自豪。」芮說：「現在我三分之二的收入都來自於這隻卡通小豬，主要是通過商業合作和在網上銷售玩具和鑰匙鏈等。微信還允許人們直接向表情設計者們匯款。」
Some, like Rui, have a loyal following. Scores of fans queued for Rui's autograph recently in a fashionable mall with a pop-up Silly Piggy merchandise stall. " It’s so cute and it reflects how young office workers feel inside," said 23-year-old fan Yang Hao. 「Even though it's grumbling, it can still express that in a really lively and vivid way.」
