McDonald’s career started in 1992 when he was just 12 years old. In “A conversation with my 12-year-old self,” The 12-year-old McDonald picked up a video cassette recorder and spoke about things that matter to him and how much he has grown since he was 10. McDonald then leaves a message to himself not to play the video till the future. In 2012, Jeremiah mixed a video he recorded as an adult with the older video. He answers questions he had as a kid and talks about everything that happened in between. Eventually, McDonald created a masterpiece. Many viewers were in disbelief. Some believe a child actor played the 12-year-old McDonald. When he posted the video on YouTube, he wasn’t expecting the kind of attention he received. He was overwhelmed. Basking in the recognition he received in 2012, McDonald opened a Tumblr page, where he began to post more videos.

In 2009, Jean Lambert-Wild took him to Caen, France, where he created calentures for the D’Avignon festival. His other viral hits include “Jazz Dispute” and “Youtube is My Life.” McDonald’s art falls under the category of absurdist humor.
