WATCH: Artist decorates entire mansion with doodles for 2 years
How far can your childhood creativity go?
ICYMI, a British artist spent two years covering his £1.35 million (P89 million) mansion with doodle drawings.
Known as "Mr. Doodle", 28-year-old Sam Cox shared a video showing him covering his entire 12-room home at Kent, England fully in doodles. The animation video, shared in early October, consisted of 1857 photographs taken between September 2020 and September 2022 amid the pandemic lockdowns.
Cox reportedly completed hand-drawing his property with 900 liters of white emulsion paint, 401 cans of black spray paint, 286 bottles of black drawing paint, and 2,296 pens.
“So my dream was to have a doodle house and doodle over everything within that house,” Cox told NBC News.
His adolescent dream turned into reality with a wild imagination for art leaving no space on bed sheets, kitchen area, bathroom sinks, and even on himself.
"When I was a kid I wanted to live in a property completely covered in characters of my own creation. A DoodleLand filled with happy creatures that bring me joy when I see them" he shared on Instagram.
According to the UK-based publication The Times, the artist started doodling at the age of 16 and used all his money from doodle art to purchase the mansion.
Cox was among the artists who paid tribute to the late queen Elizabeth doodling a large portrait of her image. He also opened an ‘Abstract Doodlism’ museum at the Design Society Shenzhen.
His large-scale doodle canvas called Spring (2019) was bought for almost $1 million at Tokyo Chuo Auction Company.
Cox has established a notable social media presence where he constantly posts his doodle art online. His career originally took off in 2017 when videos of him went viral, which has netted him 2.7 million followers on his Instagram account @mrdoodle. He is married to Alena, also an artist who goes by @mrsdoodle on Instagram.
