Mr Doodle has taken his love for doodling to new heights by painting his entire house! Between 2020 and 2022, he painted his six-bedroom house, located in Tenterden, Kent, close to his parents’ house, with his signature black and white doodles. He used 900 litres of white emulsion paint, 401 cans of black spray paint, 286 bottles of drawing paint, and 2,296 pen nibs. Most of his doodles were spontaneous and added to the artwork’s charm. However, his ambition doesn’t stop there – he dreams of bringing his imaginary world of “Doodle Land” to the real world. To achieve this, he has set his sights on transforming his entire town into a living, breathing version of his artwork. While some may view this as an impossible feat, Mr Doodle’s determination and creativity know no bounds.
Mr Doodle’s art is a spontaneous blend of shapes, lines and different doodle characters that capture people’s attention worldwide. His work is not only awesome but also inspires a playful and creative mindset. Mr Doodle inspires us to embrace our inner child and never stop pursuing our dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem.
