The artist, 28, built his 2.7million Instagram followers after studying illustration at the University of The West of England in Bristol, where he would spend 16-hour days drawing, earning him the nickname 'the Doodle Man'.

Sam Cox, also known as Mr Doodle, has spent the last two years plastering the walls of his six-bedroom, neo-Georgian mansion with the signature black-and-white drawings that earned him his name. This article was originally published on NBCNews.A world-renowned artist has spent two years covering every square inch of his £1.35million house in doodles - working his way through 900 litres of emulsion, 401 cans of spray paint, 286 bottles of drawing paint, and 2,296 pen nibs. “We could work together and create a colorful creation, or something new or something different, so watch this space.” “In the future we’ve got plans for maybe projects on the scale of this,” he said, gesturing at the mansion. Doodle likes to color in my doodles so we sometimes work together on canvases or big pieces of work,” Cox said. They collaborate on some projects, with Alena introducing color to Cox’s hitherto monochrome creations. He has since recovered, and now has the support of his Ukrainian-born wife, Alena, 32, who is also an artist.

“I went through a wave of hallucinations and delusions from thinking that I was speaking to God to being hired to doodle all over Donald Trump’s wall,” Cox wrote on his Facebook page shortly afterward. Success, however, took its toll in 2020, when Cox said he was hospitalized for six weeks owing to stress brought on by the administrative side of his work.
