| England’s Sam Cox is a special artist. The 24-year-old’s masterpieces▼ aren’t landscape▼ paintings, portraits, or amazing sculptures▼. Instead, he creates doodles, which are small pictures and patterns that he draws quickly, on everything he sees. As a result, people call him Mr. Doodle.
Once Cox began doodling as a child, he couldn’t stop. It helped him burn off energy and allowed him to express himself. At first, he drew his little pictures on schoolbooks, walls, and furniture. Today, his art appears on cars, clothing, and anything else you can imagine. Cox says that, on average, he doodles for about 15 hours every day.
In some ways, Cox’s art is simple. He usually uses a black marker to draw on a white background. However, he mixes lots of strange symbols and crazy characters together. When people look at his work, it’s like solving a puzzle. They have to spend time trying to figure out what’s going on in each scene. Although Cox’s art seems silly, it has a message. He hopes his work will remind people not to take life so seriously.
