TADO

This is some interesting art here. I love art and anything that is completely weird. That is the beauty to me. One person can see something that no one else can see and idea or piece of work can inspire someone to do something totally different. This duo call TADO, pulls their inspiration from so many places and come up with some art that is compelling, interesting and is art that no one else could think of. Look around everyday with an open mindset, you can be inspired to do anything that has never been done before.


"Mike and Katie are the perky British duo known as TADO (tay-doh). Their love of meat, puppies, and cute, spiky characters brought them together in their art school days and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Their work includes graphic design, illustration, animation, toy design, and everything in between. There newest release is a double feature, comprising a multiples critter series called the Littlest Cannibals, and a 7” psycho little Miss Fixitby by the name of Tulip, thanks to Kid Robot. You can catch TADO and their touring show this fall at various toy shops across North America including Magic Pony in Toronto from August 28 to September 14."

Format: Ancient myths and legends are full of weird little creatures. Are there any mythologies that you guys look to when starting on a new character sets?
TADO: We tend not to do any specific research for characters, unless we’re working to a brief on a subject. We’re continually taking stuff in all the time on a day to day basis—our ideas can come from anywhere really, from a funny looking dog in the park to vintage advertising.
