Mr Doodle comes to town

The simply amazing Mr Doodle came to Ashford recently for the Create festival. He grabbed his signature pens and hoped over to Park Mall in Ashford. He took over the empty shop right next door to Made in Ashford. Everyday when I walked through town or nipped into Made in Ashford, I would hope that I would get to see this genius at work. Sadly I seemed to keep missing this magical Doodle Man.

Then one day I was walking past and I saw that the doors were open! I could pop in and see his amazing walls filled with his creations! I walked in and looked to my right, and there he was, up a ladder drawing! It was wonderful to have a chat with the man himself about this project and the Create festival.

Who is Mr Doodle you may ask?! Well Mr Doodle is a very talented fella called Sam Cox who loves to draw with his amazing black felt tip pens. He creates such fun and wacky creatures and drawings. He loves to fill spaces with his work, and creates such great wall art. You can find out more about Mr Doodle on his website here.

Ashford has really changed over the last few years, and I am so happy to live in such a fun and creative place.

Hello, it's me!

Hello, its me, Nicola. I am a huge fan of taking photos and writing every little detail down in a moleskine. Life is so much easier to snap a photo and then upload it to instagram. We have it so easy. I think there is something really darn amazing about taking time to sit and write about your day, a movie you saw, an adventure you had, or just everyday life. So I’m going to try that again. It might not work, but thats ok. Life isn’t life is you don’t at least try.

I feel like it's a good time to re-introduce myself. So I currently live in Kent in the UK. I’m an artist and retail worker. If you know me personally you know I am a fancy wall hunter, and will always be on the look out for a colourful wall to stand in front of. I am also a toy collector, and will forever be a toy collector. I love Autumn, giant jumpers and a good mug of tea. Plus I am a giant fan of instagram, you can find me over there too! Make sure you say hello!
