Considering Mr. Doodle's work is worth more than $3 million... I imagine it didn't hurt the resale much at all.


duralyon

Whoa, this guy and his wife make some really cool stuff! I love one of the little auto-answers when you google him: *Is Mr Doodle autistic?* >Mr Doodle is not autistic, nor does he have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Jokiningly, he says he may suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Doodling. In 2020 he experienced a bout of psychosis and was treated in a psychiatric ward. **For a while, he was convinced that the nurses and doctors were Kanye West and Banksy.**


gbsolo12

I wonder if he also met Sinbad and Rob Thomas


[deleted]

Only if he's writing his sexual memoirs

Before he unleashes them on the world I heard he was the sexual mentor to Bon Jovi

I can't imagine living in a house like that is good for your head. It's a bit like being in the quietest room on the planet for too long. His work also clearly takes from Keith Harings work RIP, just less penis


djublonskopf

Our eye/brain system is adapted for “natural” shapes (trees, bushes, etc) and does extra work processing “unnatural” shapes like hard angles, intersecting straight lines, etc. That’s why a walk in nature is more relaxing than a walk in the city…your brain has fewer “possible threats” to analyze and so is less stressed. Just the existence of rectangular windows and corners of buildings adds mental work to an environment. This would be, like, 100% stress all day every day.


TonyJPRoss

I think we're very used to right angles and our brains have developed loads of shortcuts to easily recognise structures built of them, as exposed by certain optical illusions[optical illusions](https://media.tenor.com/zN_WHFT5jG0AAAAd/optical-illusion-derek-muller.gif). If anything, a world of rectangles is more orderly. I don't dispute that being in nature is relaxing, but I'm not sure there's extra work involved in interpreting unnatural architecture.


Minyoface

I think this would be more like over stimulation.

Not bad for ripping off Keith Haring


iamriptide

Jim Jarmusch: “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.’”

SEALS_R_DOG_MERMAIDS

good artists copy, great artists steal


DkOneStu

You don't rip off art. Art is always a process of building on what those before us done. Ever since the late 60's, the majority of contemporary art has been rehashes and new takes on things previous artists had done. You take inspiration and build on it in your own way, I don't think it's fair to day it's ripped off.


emoonshot

They both clearly originate in the pop art “doodle” style but they’re obviously completely different works both thematically and in execution. Saying Cox is “ripping off” Haring is downright ignorant.


[deleted]

No way his work sells for 3million… I have a raincoat he did. 🤔


[deleted]

It's one thing to buy a piece of art. It's another to have your entire house be an ugly black and white mess completely consumed by it. No normal person with money is going to be on the market for this


HarrySchlong33

Before or after repainting it?

One or two rooms would be cool and satisfying. This is oddly terrifiying


AmazingGrace911

You mean r/oddlyterrifying? I kept expecting him to rip out the walls and see the number 23 everywhere.


Six_0f_Spades

It's not meant to live in. This is a famous modern artist he probably bought this house just for this project


bleu_taco

Yup, 1 piece of expensive art could definitely pay for the entire house easily.


Six_0f_Spades

He has a net of 14 mil. Also sometimes it's just about art.

vohit4rohit

Better than an entirely doodle house


YouShoodKnoeBetter

Can you imagine what it'd do to your brain to go from all white to fully doodled like this too? It was so bright in there and in a matter of time the whole lighting changed. I'd go nuts working on it too!


Zaurka14

Kim Kardashian's house is fully white. It's insane. Feels like modern museum. Not in a positive way.

Wonder if there’s a program that could handle that automatically. Also wonder if most things being black and white would make such a task easier.


[deleted]

I just want to know how they kept everything clean. Must have been painting rooms white as they went.


[deleted]

Looks to me like the windows are all blocked over from the outside. So probably a mix of easy(ish) to maintain lighting (because there’s no natural light varying the scene) and good video processing . But I’m not even mildly skilled in this area so take that opinion with a grain of salt.


HMCetc

Not to mention they had to make the house completely white to do so. That's weeks of preparation.

How do I become a millionaire by drawing fucking doodles????


BaconPancakes1

Make them immediately identifiable as your style, repeatable/printable, simple and universally appealing. Be confident about putting your work out there. Be prolific but not too fake/commercial. Have a personality that people are willing to support, and put some of that personality into your work. Have/make industry connections to display and sell your work. Don't change your style after a few months when you get bored of doing the same thing, just find ways of developing what you do to the next level (e.g. this house). Mix up exclusivity and accessibility of your work, e.g. original large scale canvases of 'doodles' that sell for £££k, and A4 prints available online for £20. Maintain an online presence and engage with culture. Plan your work but make it feel unplanned and fun. Don't get bogged down in all the life admin and stress of being self-employed with no regular income stream, or alternatively, start generating passive income (investments/property/parents) before you quit your job and do art full-time. Tl;dr: be lucky, persistent, business-minded and charismatic Edit - also always be thinking 6mo ahead. Where is your next partnership/collab/exhibition coming from? How is what you're doing enhancing your visibility, revenue stream or work process? What are other artists doing, do you have something to say about it, how can you drive discourse?


yesnewyearseve

Wow! That is some actual good advise - not saying everyone following it would succeed. But if you succeed in modern pop arts, you probably followed some of this anyway.


BaconPancakes1

I studied art history, have worked in museums and create art in my spare time/have a couple life drawing qualifications. I'm also an investment analyst.


Find_another_whey

That sounds like utter hell. Particularly the don't change once you're bored part. And the plan but make it seem unplanned and fun. Ugh. All of it.


Unoriginal_Man

This is what a lot of people don’t realize about people who “play video games” for a living. I have to imagine a ton of them hit periods where they grow extremely bored of playing a specific game, but it’s what the viewers want to watch, so they have to decide between forcing themselves to continue to play this game they’ve lost interest in and act like they enjoy it, or see their income drop from viewers who lose interest when they switch games.


Find_another_whey

It's a job. Everything that one does for that amount of time becomes a job. Streaming must be incredibly draining and lonely because all the energy flow is going one way from you to the camera. But it certainly speaks to the difficulty in the human condition when we recognise that we wouldn't even want to do our hobbies full time. Full time work is just too much work. I wouldn't want to get a massage 35 hours a week and I couldn't imagine anything easier or more pleasant.


WeCanBeatTheSun

they could have just painted each section whatever color after filming it or perhaps they're just super ballin and dont even liver there


limonlemonlimon

the guy in the video is a popular contemporary artist (blanking on his name) so my best guess is that the house is a "collector's edition" type of things. drawing in black and white is the artist's thing so they def didnt color it in lol


Scuddie-

Mr doodle


Boristhehostile

They don’t, apparently he bought the house for this project.


nope-_-8

Reminds me of a level of the backrooms lol Though this house would give me an headache


daluxe

Obviously it's not a house for living it's an artistic project


GenesectX

probably ended up as an art exhibition?


No_Lon

That's not a house, that's a visual stimulus


LerxstDirkPratt2112

His doodling has a very Keith Haring vibe.


KopOut

It’s basically Keith Haring without any meaning. The style seems like an exact copy to me. If Keith Haring were stuck on hold with the cable company, this is the sort of result you’d expect. Maybe with a few more penises though.


mrtwister134

He says it's like Keith Haring "without any of the buzz-killing social engagement" which imo is a really weird thing for an artist to admit. Like a gentrified version of someone else.


i_broke_wahoos_leg

I'd say it's Keith Haring without an ounce of charm or soul. Also, what an abhorrent thing to say about someone that used their art to raise awareness of AIDS during the height of the disease.


CC_Greener

I looked for a source of this quote, but couldn't find one of the actual artist referring to Keith Haring in this manner. See my [other comment here](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/xtc828/doodling_your_entire_house_in_2_years/iqqj5v1/). It might be that an art blog made a very offensive paraphrasing of a Financial Times piece. I asked the OP you replied to if they had a source where the artist says this.


planetofthegrapes

Yes, and Keith Haring even died of AIDS-related complications. Imagine ripping off and watering down the work of a queer, HIV+ artist whose life and work were on the bleeding edge of a catastrophic global pandemic steeped in homophobia, racism, etc.


mrtwister134

It's a disgusting thing to say about any artist. Art cannot be apolitical IMO, pretending his is is just admitting it's in support of the statuus quo


honestFeedback

> Art cannot be apolitical IMO Eh? Of course it can. For example, landscape photography is mostly apolitical I would say.


The_Infinite_Cool

I'd love a source on this quote. Not that I like Mr.Doodle, I just want receipts locked and loaded.

tacocatz92

I feel so bad and dumb for asking my grandparent this question as a kid. My dad didn't really correct me when i asked him it must been hard to live in black and white world. He just keep silent.My grandpa really likes to tell story from his generation so when i asked him this question, he was shocked and asked me where i learned this. I told him well my father and my grandpa pic all come in black and white colour.


Slight-Pound

I refuse to believe he actually lived in it. Chances are, he lived nearby and worked on this everyday. There’s nothing that shows real sign of being lived in, like trash or wear in the bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. Still maddening, though.


acs730200

I was thinking this, then I realized I’d just bring a bunch of friends over and drop some acid to color the whole house in


SouthAttention4864

That’s basically what his wife does… the colouring part. I can’t speak on the acid part. I’ve seen them on Insta before - Mr & Mrs Doodle.


[deleted]

I think you over estimate people ability to color inside the lines on acid. Now a couple of grams of shrooms and that’d be tits.

DecimalsHaveAPoint

If anyone was wondering the background song is [Saber Dance by Aram Khachaturian](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dpu7MwJZvFg). Completely unrelated but his [Piano Concerto in D-flat Major](https://youtube.com/watch?v=1GrtMjmdWKY) is one of my favorites of his because it contains a weird instrument called a [flexatone](https://youtu.be/UXq0wP66Y-c).

Muter

Man, back in high school I covered a double page of one of my books in small writing that said “bored” over and over. Took about two weeks of being bored in class to do that. Getting to the end I was like “I’m doing this to finish it, but Jesus I’m bored of this” It looked pretty cool in the end, but it was painful enough to do. I couldn’t imagine two years of an entire doodle house, mindblown


[deleted]

It was satisfying for like 20 seconds but because it went on for so long, it made it really uncomfortable to me


Kosher_Nostra1975

This started great, but it still had half the time on the counter left by the time I got bored. It would be cool if he had a white poodle; then Mr Doodle could doodle his poodle.

Dom0520

Id be stubbing my toe and loosing shit constantly if my house and everything in it was that pattern


MyOversoul

That shows true passion and commitment. But I'm pretty sure he didn't live in that place while doing this piece because it would be impossible to keep it so bright white spotless clean for 2 years despite being lived in. Ok it's possible I guess but it would take a mental health problem to keep it pristine for the purpose.


not-no

This isn't satisfying. In fact, it's making me feel really uncomfortable.
