Mr. Doodle

Behind the pseudonym 'Mr. Doodle' is the English artist Sam Cox, who stood out from a young age with his creative ideas, doodles that turned out to be the personal touch that has led him to distinguish himself in the world of graphic art. Born in 1994 in the city of Kent, in the United Kingdom, Sam Cox describes what he does as 'OCD - obsessive-compulsive drawing' (which is like a joke translated to 'obsessive compulsive drawing', but it doesn't seem like such a joke). What began as a youthful scribbling in his textbooks and his parents' furniture has become not only a professional career but an entire new universe called 'DoodleLand'. In interviews with the artist, it's hard to tell if he truly believes this place of white space and endless scribbling is another reality. Over the years, Cox has gained a reputation, and his clients include MTV, Adidas, Puma, and Cass Art, working with people who clearly love what he calls "their growing drawing virus." Despite starting with a seemingly simple idea—his style is essentially thick, black line drawing on white backgrounds—Cox has created an extraordinarily distinct style. His work is characterized by pure chaos: full of strange symbols, odd characters, and complex scenes. Cox compares it to walking into a store and staring open-mouthed at the barrage of images, shapes, and letters on the shelves. The main goal is for the audience to spend time deciphering his doodles. Regarding the markers the artist uses, they fall into a category called "Squeezer." These markers are refillable and release a large amount of ink while in use.
