A world-renowned artist who earned himself the nickname Mr Doodle covered every square inch of his mansion in drawings.
Sam Cox, 28, has spent the last two years plastering the walls of his six-bedroom mansion in Tenterden, Kent, with the black-and-white drawings which earned him his name.
He spent 16-hour days working his way through 900 litres of emulsion, 401 cans of spray paint, 286 bottles of drawing paint, and 2,296 pen nibs.
On Sunday Sam unveiled the finished product, which he describes as his "living artwork", in a time-lapse video on social media.
He wrote: “So happy and excited to have finally doodled my house.
“I’ve seen some of your questions about my stop motion film, to answer some of them - I used 900 litres of white paint, 401 cans of black spray paint (for the outside), 286 bottles of black drawing paint (for the inside) and 2296 pen nibs (I only used four different sized pens but they were refillable and the nibs were replaceable).
“The animation was created entirely by me and it consists of 1857 photographs, painstakingly taken between September 2020 and September 2022.
“The whole house is real, everything is doodled, the doodles were all hand doodled for the animation, it’s not CGI.”
Sam rose to notoriety in 2017 when he opened a Mr Doodle pop-up shop at Old Street station in east London, when a Facebook video of his creations was viewed 46 million times.
The artist's adventurous house project began in the main bedroom - which he decorated with 'dream' themed drawings - and the 2,000-tile en-suite bathroom, which has a sea theme.
The first stage took a gruelling two months to complete but Sam was determined to finish it on his own.
He has left no surface untouched, with every wall and ceiling and all amenities, including the television, hob and bath, covered in monochromatic doodles.
Despite admitting he didn't plan any of his drawings, Sam has given every room its own theme.
For example the hallway is covered with Noah’s Ark creations, while the stairs are decorated with Heaven and Hell drawings.
For the indoor doodles the 28-year-old explained that he used black acrylic paint and a bingo marker-pen in four different sizes. All the surfaces have been lacquered to ensure they don't fade. And for the outside of the property he used spray paint.
The only downside to Sam's whacky house is that it's attracted attention from the local children who have taken to ringing the doorbell out of curiosity.
But the artist hasn't received any complaints from his neighbours yet so he has no plans to tone down the property's aesthetic or move house any time soon.
He has earned a legion of fans for his work - except perhaps for the previous owner of the home who asked him not to draw all over the house.
