This guy's cleverly placed sign got him a new car... sort of

Dreaming of that #spon life.

A very small percentage of social media users will ever know what that #spon life is all about. One Twitter user got a glimpse of it and immediately knew that he wanted more.

British artist Hector Janse van Rensburg a.k.a. Shitty Watercolour tweeted an image of himself chilling in his bathtub next to a bottle of Radox shower gel.

His joke about not being sponsored was promptly overturned when Radox DM'd him to send him some products.

Rensburg had gotten a taste of that sweet sweet spon life and didn't want the moment to end. That's when the artist was struck with a moment of genius.

This time though, he decided to set his sights higher than bath products. Rensburg upped the ante when he tweeted this cleverly composed picture.

The hilarious tweet went viral and earned him a response from Aston Martin, who made him an offer.

The toy car probably wasn't the offer he was hoping for, but even he'll admit that it was an ambitious ask.
