Popular street doodler Mr Doodle embarked on his most ambitious doodling spectacle yet—a marathon lasting an incredible 50 hours straight! Mr Doodle started the marathon at 10 a.m. on Friday, August 18. He continued until Sunday, August 20, when he created a live, unplanned design for the storefront of We Built This City before heading into the store to continue his work.
The ‘graffiti spaghetti doodler’ doodled across paper-covered walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, etc. As the hours went by, he became more tired, and you could see that in his doodles. His iconic characters became sleepier, with Xs for eyes, and the designs became more abstract.
But that’s not all. Mr Doodle’s marathon wasn’t just about creating art; it was also about giving back to society. All profits from the sales of the doodled-on paper that made up the installation were donated to The Teapot Trust, a charity that uses art therapy to help young people cope with long-term medical conditions.
