'I wanted to go for the maximum effect and I am so happy with the result. 'I thought it would be good to immerse myself totally in the doodles,' says Sam. Jane Fryer took a visit to Mr Cox's grand doodle mansion, set in three acres of sweeping lawns on a leafy lane in Tenterden, Kent The skirting boards, the cornicing, the table, the TV stand, the wood burner - even the windows and patio doors are daubed with black acrylic paint. Happily, he is a bit more focused than most of us and so, hey presto, 13 years later Sam (aka Mr Doodle, with a social media following of well over two million), his beautiful Ukrainian wife, Alena, 32, and I are all sitting on doodled sofas in his doodled sitting room in his grand doodle mansion, set in three acres of sweeping lawns on a leafy lane in Tenterden, Kent.Įverything is doodled black and white with cartoons, squiggles and patterns. Everything was done with the aim of fulfilling this dream,' he says. Inside and outside, walls, ceilings, floors, doors and all. Because, from the age of 15, he just knew that one day he had to become a famous doodle artist, buy a big white mansion and doodle all over it. Sam Cox's teenage ambition was rather more niche.

Fuelled by the exuberance of youth, many of us dare to think big and bold.
