Inspiration: Doodling on Walls

We were major doodlers in school, with meandering lines drawn on everything from notebooks to shoe soles. Maybe that's why these wall doodles appeal to us...

Animaze wallpaper by Canadian graphic artist Julie Jenkinson is doodle-inspired and dark, "the kind of twisted imagery that’s likely to appeal to artier members of the urban design set." http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2009/08/canadian-cool-julie-jenkinson-wallpaper/

I have a long boring hallway just like this one. I would love to do this but I don't think I can draw a straight line. lol

There is a 360 degree pan of this man's basement where an entire decor is drawn on the walls! Everything from famous writers to picture frames!

I love the long hallway doodles. I wonder if it would be tough to paint over since I'm a renter. Would primer cover it right up when I'm ready to move?
