Teddy M

Teddy M is a British contemporary artist. In 2016, he was described by GQ magazine as "The Artist to Watch".

The artist works with acrylics, spray paints and paint markers on canvas, board and other media and also paints on his iPad producing large scale works on aluminium or as reverse perspex mounts.

In 2013, the artist created a digital media artwork personally approved by Eric Clapton.

The musician Ed Sheeran borrowed a painted known as "Green T" from Teddy M for use on his X world tour in 2015. 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 iconic eye symbol of Crash. Ed Sheeran debuted the guitar at his Wembley Stadium, London 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.

Also in 2016, Teddy M was commissioned by FIAT heir Lapo Elkann to create paintings for his private collection which also includes original paintings by Andy Warhol & Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Ed Ruscha and many more.
