An artist with a unique style whose works have sold for millions of pounds has finished a street art piece at a new skate park.

Sam Cox, better known in the art world as Mr Doodle, spent three days creating the work on the outside of the F51 urban sports park which opened in Folkestone earlier this month.

Featuring his typical free-flow doodles, the piece contains clues as to the purpose of the building, which hosts sports including skating, climbing and boxing.

Mr Doodle said: "I am really proud to be able to bring my doodles to such a ground-breaking project in my home county of Kent.

"A part of Doodleworld now exists in Folkestone and I hope the local community will embrace and enjoy it."

The work came about after Cox was approached by the firm of architects behind the £17 million project, Hythe-based Hollaway Studio.

Architect Guy Hollaway said: "Art and architecture play a critical role together to create positive contributions to our towns and cities. This is the first time that we have had a mural piece form part of one of our external facades.

"Mr Doodle's artwork complements the architecture of F51 and provides clues as to what the building contains.

"Within the doodle you can spot skaters, boxers and climbers and the art piece itself undulates like the skate park above. The colour complements the crushed metal facade and the orange accents reflect the colour of the steelwork within the building.

"This is the perfect example of the architect and the artist collaborating to offer a building whose creative culture is expressed from the outset."

Mr Doodle has previously teamed up with the award-winning architects to design a dramatic work space to be built in the garden of his Tenterden home.

Plans for the studio show an aluminium facade engineered "to show-off the art that is being created within".

Inside the building will be a cavernous space where Cox, a former pupil of Homewood School, can create his giant doodles.

His four-metre piece 'Spring' was sold for more than $1million at auction in Tokyo in 2020.
