“We have this idea that being creative is a fun thing to be,” says Andrea Cox, mother to Sam Cox, aka @mrdoodle . “And I’m not sure that it necessarily is.”
“The Trouble with Mr. Doodle” is a raw, deeply affecting portrait of artist Sam Cox, whose compulsive need to draw transforms not only his career, but nearly every facet of his life. Directed by Jaimie D’Cruz and Ed Perkins, the documentary offers an unflinching look at the psychological toll of constant creation on both the artist and the people closest to him.
A very important film for artists & free to stream at the link in the @allartstv bio:
▪️”The Trouble with Mr. Doodle”
Really proud to say I’ll be at the @nationalgallery doing a talk with @veritybabbsart about some of my favourite paintings within the collection and how they relate to my work. There will be a doodle-a-long too, so bring your pens and sketchbooks!
Hope to see some of you there, it’s going to be great! Link in profile to get tickets!
