'Graffiti spaghetti ' ran rampant in a transport hub in Hong Kong.

The style, created by British artist Sam Cox, features a series of interlocking patterns and whimsical characters depicting the adventures of Mr Doodle in Doodleland.

Assuming the role of Mr Doodle, Cox dresses up - getting into the character.

Whereas some artists may prefer to work in the privacy of their own studio and exhibit in pristine white galleries, Cox opts to create in public in collaboration with his audience.

At the MTR station, 10 children joined in with Mr Doodle to graffiti the spacecraft that would take him on his adventures in space.

Some of the children chose to imitate Mr Doodle's graffiti spaghetti style whilst others chose their own approach.

Cox appreciates collaboration in his creative process.

Owing to their international and intergenerational appeal, the prices for smaller pieces of Cox's work range from $13,000 to $500,000.

According to Hong Kong gallerist Pearl Lam, their appeal arises from the joyful nature within each work.

And for Mr Doodle, having completed his journey through space via a Hong Kong MTR station, he's now back on his way to Doodleland.
