They collaborate on some projects, with Alena introducing color to Cox’s hitherto monochrome creations. He has since recovered, and now has the support of his Ukrainian-born wife, Alena, 32, who is also an artist. “I went through a wave of hallucinations and delusions from thinking that I was speaking to God to being hired to doodle all over Donald Trump’s wall,” Cox wrote on his Facebook page shortly afterward. Success, however, took its toll in 2020, when Cox said he was hospitalized for six weeks owing to stress brought on by the administrative side of his work.

I’d film the whole thing as a huge production, in the form of a crazy time-lapse from flying drones, cameras within the town itself and tripods on wheels that would follow me down the streets as I’d doodle them. I’d want an entire town painted in white: all the cars, lamp posts, street signs, tall buildings and roads covered in white paint, with small factories, shops and houses all prepared in pristine pearl white ready to be covered in my doodles. I made my own design for a video game when I was 13 – I had all the levels, boss characters and storyline planned in a big folder full of drawings.
