Pop & Bang






Hand drawn using inks and markers on Saunders & Waterford paper, this is one of a kind original canvas. [Size 56x76 cm.]

Born and raised in the North East of England, Toad is one of an emerging breed of contemporary image-makers… He graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2005 with a first class honour in Graphical Communication. He has been surviving on his creative skills ever since, working between Newcastle, Sheffield and London. This is one incredibly busy artist who you can expect to see a lot more from in the near future!

The dark humour and graphic narrative of his work draws inspiration from comic books, B movies, current affairs, the human condition…etc.

A few words from the toad himself.

“I create images much like a DJ creates tunes - both creating and sampling, mashing styles and fusing genres into new visual flavours, layering meanings and constantly experimenting, evolving and progressing”
