Renowned for his graffiti-spaghetti style, the muralist made his mark in the centre of Ashford, Kent.
He decorated hoardings opposite the town’s railway station with white and orange doodles along with the words ‘Welcome to Doodletown’.
The site has been earmarked for a new development of residential apartments.
He got permission from the developer, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Chris Dixon, Ashford Borough Council arts and cultural industries manager, said: “Mr Doodle was eager to work on the hoardings.

“He hit the ground running at 8am and remarkably completed the work in just one day.
“It looks fantastic.”
Council chief executive Tracey Kerly added: “It’s already created lots of interest and it’s been lovely to see lots of selfies of passers-by on social media.

“It’s worth pointing out that this amazing public artwork has been delivered at absolutely no cost to the council.
“Mr Doodle is a huge fan of Ashford and did all this off his own back.
“He even repaired bits of the hoarding which needed it.
“He has told us he had so many nice and positive comments on the day and I think people will really enjoy the piece and how it’s brightened up this prominent and busy road junction in Ashford.”
