Teddy M is a British contemporary artist based in the Cotswolds, UK. In 2016, he was described by GQ magazine as "The Artist to Watch". The artist works with acrylics, spray paints and paint markers on various media and also paints on his iPad producing large scale works on aluminium or as reverse perspex mounts.
Projects
In 2013, the artist created a digital media artwork personally approved by Eric Clapton.
Original paintings by Teddy M are in the private collection of FIAT heir Lapo Elkann along side original paintings by Andy Warhol & Jean-Michel Basquiat and Damien Hirst amongst others.
Musician Ed Sheeran borrowed a painted Fender Stratocaster known as "Green T" from Teddy M for use on his X world tour. The guitar was played in 18 countries on the single "Thinking Out Loud" and later sold at Bonhams, London for £12,500 (Dec 2015). Sheeran also commissioned an art guitar as a collaboration between Teddy M and New York street art pioneer John Crash Matos. Known as the Crash x Teddy M Stratocaster, the brightly painted guitar features the first use of the Teddy M Heart and the eye symbol of Crash and was used by Ed Sheeran during his Wembley Stadium concerts in July 2015. The guitar also features on Sheeran's Live concert DVD, Jumpers for Goalposts.
In May 2016, Teddy M created the first Royal graffiti titled "Royal Love" with Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Sarah, Duchess of York on the lawn of Royal Lodge. Royal Love was exhibited at Masterpiece London and auctioned at a private dinner in June 2016 by Lord Dalmeny of Sotheby's for a five figure sum. The proceeds from the sale were donated to the charity, Children in Crisis.
