Who is Mr Doodle?
Mr Doodle began doodling the world when he was born in 1994. He started by covering his parents’ furniture with doodles and eventually his whole bedroom, until he realised his home wasn’t a big enough canvas. He then began doodling on the walls of local fast-food restaurants and schools. When Mr Doodle creates, he grabs a marker and lets his hand flow, producing clusters of happy characters and patterns that cover whichever surface he puts his pen to.
Mr Doodle began to gain recognition in the art world in 2015 and has since seen a meteoric rise in interest in his work. His doodles reach all corners of culture, from international museums and gallery shows to collaborations with household names such as Disney, Samsung, Fendi and Kleenex, as well as enormous murals, street art projects, a huge following on social media and much more. His pen knows no bounds, and his ultimate goal is to doodle the world. While his work provokes discourse around what we consider fine art today, for Mr Doodle, he is simply happiest when he’s doodling.
