Nine years ago a piece of Sam Cox's artwork bought him a bag of chips in Bath when he arrived in the city with a briefcase full of his drawings.

More recently a piece of his art sold at auction for just under a million dollars.

Meet Mr Doodle. A very canny and talented young man who knows how to use social media to further his career. He has more followers on Instagram than the Guggenheim Museum!

Currently, his work is on show at Bath's Holburne Museum which can boast being the location for the firstever museum exhibition by this internationally renowned artist and internet sensation.

Street banners and decorated planters across the city will show you something of his style. A talent that has propelled him to global fame.

Primarily characterised by black ink on a white background, Mr Doodle conjures up a mesmerising world of quirky creatures and anthropomorphic forms, using ink pens and spray paint to weave together what he describes as “graffiti spaghetti”.

The selection of Mr Doodle’s personal sketchbooks will provide the starting point for a show that fills the gallery and spreads across the walls, floor and ceiling of the Holburne Museum.

I met him this morning for a video chat.
