De Britse kunstenaar Sam Cox, beter bekend als ‘Mr. Doodle’, heeft zijn hele huis beschilderd met zogenoemde ‘doodles’. Daarmee is zijn jeugddroom werkelijkheid geworden.

Van zijn slaapkamer tot zijn keuken, elke vierkante centimeter van zijn huis is bedekt met de figuurtjes. En het schildersdoek was niet bepaald goedkoop: volgens de Times of London kocht Cox het huis voor 1,35 miljoen pond (omgerekend 1,53 miljoen euro).

    While he showed a BBC journalist around his home, he admitted not being sure whether the kitchen hobs would function after doodling on them — his wife is not "totally aware of that yet" though.

    Cox added that when he doodles it feels almost "like an out-of-body experience. You're indulging yourself in this free-flowing state of creation."

    When announcing his home project on Instagram, Cox said: "I used 900 liters of white paint, 401 cans of black spray paint (for the outside), 286 bottles of black drawing paint (for the inside), and 2,296 pen nibs."

    He also created an animation to reveal his house, which he documented throughout. "The animation was created entirely by me and it consists of 1,857 photographs, painstakingly taken between September 2020 and September 2022."

    Cox concluded: "The whole house is real, everything is doodled, the doodles were all hand doodled for the animation. It's not CGI."
