Item Description

For Todd, art is all about inspiration and literally putting that inspiration into someone's hands. The work "art" comes from an ancient Indo-European language that means "to fit together." By taking license plates and other recyclable materials, he likes to create something which has the ability to form a connection with someone.  Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Todd has lived in Colorado since 2001. After owning a successful home improvement business for nine years, he decided to combine his desire to work for himself and his ability to build things into a new creative medium--that of making custom guitar art out of license plates and other upcycled materials. He hopes to create art with which people can feel an instant connection. In his Denver-based studio, Todd creates unique art in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function to create a one of a kind sculpture.

For the Mask Project, Todd individually hand applied 4880 genuine gold Swarovski crystals to the mask.
