As soon as I began to draw, I began making a stop-motion film of me, so that people could follow my journey covering the whole mansion in doodles.

I didn't start drawing on the mansion until September 2020 because it took about seven months to renovate and turn into a blank white canvas. It was very fortunate for me to have bought the mansion, as it is five minutes away from my parent's house, and it's in the town that I've grown up in since I was a child.

The first day that I moved into the mansion, my partner Alena and I ran into all of the different rooms, dancing and playing music very loudly. This process took six to seven months, and towards the end of 2019, I bought the house. I began to sketch and create storyboards of how each room would look with different doodles inside. The moment I saw it, I knew that it was just what I wanted, so I quickly put a deposit down. In 2019, I began looking for my dream house and came across a mansion in Tenterden, Kent, roughly costing £1,450,000 million ($1,600,000). Having people personally react to my art also influences me too. When a crowd forms around me to watch me draw, it motivates me to draw faster and challenge myself even more.

When I got into my car to go back to the hotel, many people were knocking on the car windows and giving me their phones and hats for me to draw on them. People began standing around and watching. I remember in one instance, I traveled to Mexico in March 2019 and was painting a wall on their underground Metro station. For them to know about the work that I had created was an amazing and surreal feeling. It was amazing for me to be able to travel to the other side of the world and meet people from a completely different place. In August 2019, I also put on a doodle exhibition in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and several other countries. The video got 40 million views all around the world.įollowing that, I was asked to paint different walls around the world in countries like Hong Kong, Korea, and Mexico. I began to consistently travel in these clothes and in January 2015, more people began gravitating towards my art by looking at the Instagram page that I had created, and the Facebook page that my friend had created for me.īut everything truly changed for me in May 2017, when I was filmed drawing on the floor in a shop in the U.K. In December 2014, I began to get more confident in my craft and decided to doodle on all of my clothes, which got me a lot of attention.

But out of curiosity, I began drawing on the bare walls instead, and when my mom saw it, she was intrigued, and continued to let me illustrate on the walls. Of course, my drawings back then were different from what they are now, as they were less developed.Īt first, my parents told me that I had to cover my whole bedroom with wallpaper before doodling on the walls. I soon realized that I wanted my whole house to be covered in doodles because I loved the idea of drawing on furniture. When I was 10 years old, I covered my bedroom at my parents' house with lots of A4 drawings. I enjoyed the process it brought me joy and satisfaction. It became the simplest mode of creative expression for me. It felt instinctive and came out very naturally when I began to draw. I drew my characters in a similar form and slowly began to build a catalog of different cartoon characters.įollowing that, I began to doodle.

I was inspired by the video games and cartoons that I would play at the time, like Crash Bandicoot as well as various other TV shows. Collect letters, avoid obstacles and aim for the ultimate 100 letter delivery! We know everyone is busy these days but the Pony Express needs YOU.Ever since I was three years old, I have loved doodling and creating characters. We've made time-based games in the past so our new idea was simple. The Pony Express felt like a great game concept to us at Google. What a concept–riders with letters on horseback racing from California to Missouri and vice versa to deliver mail on time! True to their word, the first mail arrived on April 14th. So when William H.Russell, Alexander Majors & William B Waddell founded the Pony Express on April 3rd, 1860, they set in motion a wonderful yet daunting method of communication. The notion of triumph through adversity is so inspirational. We were so excited to share this doodle that we asked a friend of the team, animator Nate Swinehart, to tell a bit more about the history of the Pony Express and document the doodle process.
