Artist Sam Cox or known well by the name Mr. Doodle recently shared the look of his new home. Cox and his wife purchased a house with six bedrooms in Kent, UK, for $1.5M.
What is unique about his home is that everything is doodled. From the walls, the ceilings, to the bathtub and even the microwave! It has always been Cox’s dream to have a house filled with doodles. Now, he has it! He describes waking up in the morning in the house as a “paradise.”
He started the project of doodling his house two years back, on September 2020. He doodled the bedrooms first, and it took two weeks to finish. Every area of the house has its very own theme. For instance, the theme of the bedroom is dream. The staircase’s theme is heaven and hell. Besides that, on the landing, he portrays Adam and Eve. For the toilet, the theme is the ocean, and the hallway is Noah’s Ark.
Cox used 900 liters of white paint and286 bottles of black drawing paint. Besides that, he also used 401 black spray paint along with 2296 pen nibs. He reassures people that his house is real and that and he did all the work. He also did an animation which he documented throughout the project. The animation was created by him and it consists of 1857 photographs.
In 2020, this 28-year-old artist was the most successful artist at auction under 40 years old. He received the title after his doodle piece was sold for $1M. He lives with his wife Alena, who is also an artist like Cox. Due to that, she is very supportive of his husband’s project.
