Sam Cox, known as Mr Doodle, covered his home with doodles to create a “living artwork.”
Cox purchased the six-bedroom house in Kent, UK, for $1.5 million, per reports.
He used 900 liters of white paint, along with several hundred bottles and spray cans of paint.

Sam Cox, known as Mr Doodle, covered his entire home with doodle art, in what he would describe as his childhood dream.
From his bedding to the kitchen appliances, every inch of the house is covered in doodles. According to the Times of London, Cox bought the property for £1.35 million ($1.5 million).

Speaking to the BBC, Cox said waking up in a room full of doodles is “sort of paradise for me.”

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.
According to the Artnet price database, in 2020, he was the world’s fifth most successful artist aged under 40 at auction after one of his art pieces sold for $1 million (£890,000).

He achieved his childhood dream two years after starting his project.
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.”
