Teddy McDonald is a British contemporary artist. He has painted guitars used by Ed Sheeran, painted with members of the royal family, and painted a Range Rover Autobiography Art Car.

It was one of the first Ed Sheeran items to go to auction, and when Bonhams sold it in December 2015 it doubled its estimate.

Sheeran played the 'Crash x Teddy M' Fender Stratocaster at the Glastonbury Festival, 2017.

McDonald collaborated with Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Sarah, Duchess of York on a charity project. The members of the royal family, working on the lawn of Royal Lodge in May 2016, added their own 'graffiti' to a painting titled "Royal Love", which was exhibited at Masterpiece London and then sold, with proceeds going to Children in Crisis.

He created an art car using a Range Rover Autobiography, calling it a "roving sculpture".

The Royal Agricultural University commissioned McDonald to create an artwork for permanent display in 2018.
