British artist Sam Cox has revealed his latest project, the Doodle House, which he has covered with his signature hand-drawn doodles.
Sam, who is known as Mr Doodle, began drawing his black and white, cartoonish style over every inch of the 12-room house in Tenterden, Kent, both inside and out, two years ago.
The house now features his hand-drawn designs on every surface and object from his bedding to his bathtub.
The project was completed using 900 litres of white emulsion paint, 401 cans of black spray paint, 286 bottles of black drawing paint and 2,296 pen nibs.
The 28-year-old artist said “The completion of the Doodle House is just the beginning of my childhood dream to doodle the entire planet and to encourage the art world to recognise doodles as an art form.
I am so excited that my doodles now have a permanent home in the UK”.
Mr Doodle, his long-suffering wife Alena and their dog now plan to make the living artwork their permanent home.
He has produced a stop motion film which he said he created entirely by himself with 1,857 photographs taken between September 2020 and September 2022 as he worked on the doodles. The artist’s videos on social media have attracted millions of views.
He has gone on to open solo museum shows in Shanghai and Shenzhen in China and set a new auction record by selling an original Doodle canvas for just under one million US dollars (£888,775).
His wife is hoping to buy him a pack of coloured pens for Christmas, to inject a little bit of colour into their monochrome lives.
