Revision as of 13:22, 13 January 2017 by ArtWriter1 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Teddy M is a British contemporary artist who created the first Royal graffiti titled "Royal Love" with Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Sarah, Duchess of York on the lawn of Royal Lodge in May 2016.
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.
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 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.
Original paintings by Teddy M are in the private collection of FIAT heir Lapo Elkann, a notable art collector with original works by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol amongst many more celebrated artists.
In 2013, the artist created a digital media artwork personally approved by Eric Clapton.
