Transmitting the Beauty of the World with a Graffiti Feast
Mr. Doodle's Playful Journey

"I want it to be a happy visual language that everyone around the world can enjoy and feel involved in."
——Mr Doodle

Mr. Doodle, whose original name is Sam Cox, was born in 1994. Gifted with a natural talent for drawing from a young age, he embarked on a self-taught journey of doodling at the age of three. Back then, he would transfer animated characters from the TV onto paper and even created his own characters in comic strip form. By the age of nine, his bedroom walls were covered in doodle-filled sheets. As he grew older, he studied illustration at the University of the West of England. After graduating in 2015, he delved into intensive impromptu graffiti creations on the streets. The following year, he held his debut solo exhibition at the Hoxton Gallery in London. He coined his creative approach as "Graffiti Spaghetti". In 2022, he transformed an entire house into a graffiti-filled wonderland, gaining widespread media coverage from major international outlets like CNN and BBC. His joyful and distinctive style became a global sensation, earning him admiration from collectors worldwide.

Caravan Chaos is one of the rare aluminium panel graffiti artworks by the artist. In 2015, he painted on the surface of a caravan using spray paint and then cut out the painted sections for sale, with only 39 pieces available. The inspiration behind his creations draws from comics, animations, and games from his childhood. In this artwork, the artist, taking inspiration from the cartoon Mr. Men & Little Miss, portrays "Mr. Big Foot". He gazes with large, expressive eyes fixed on mischievous cloud-like figures like "Mr. Daydream" on top of his head. A companion on his left side smiles while leaping into the air. The artwork is composed of simple lines and dots of spray paint, creating a vibrant scene that spreads its cheerful atmosphere in all directions. The contrast between the pure white background and the spray paint creates a compelling sense of space, offering a unique visual experience. Today, the artist continues his ceaseless journey of spontaneous creation, inviting viewers to join in the joyful adventure and spreading positivity to every corner of the Earth.
