HONG KONG (AFP): A Hong Kong transport hub was taken over Sunday by googly eyed aliens, extraterrestrial jellyfish and a cast of eccentric characters -- all part of a live performance by British artist Sam Cox, better known as Mr Doodle.

The 29-year-old calls his style "graffiti spaghetti" -- a series of interlocking patterns, whimsical characters and surreal narratives that often chronicle the adventures of Mr Doodle in "Doodle Land".
