Todd is like everyone else. As a child, he had a dream. A dream to be a Russian figure skater! But unfortunately for Todd, he was not Russian and he could not skate. It’s too bad…he looked so damn good in those tights! So like most people, his dream was shattered and he had to go get a job like everybody else. So Todd went to college, University of Florida to be exact, to be an accountant. But after 6 years of crunching numbers, he realized accounting was not for him. So he quit, and ventured into the world trying to find himself. Over the next few years, he jumped from job to job, but nothing seemed to stick. I guess you can say he hadn’t found himself. So Todd decided to take a chance, and do what he did best … to make fun of the world through his stupid doodles. The same doodles that got him kicked out of school as a kid.
So Todd started doodling. Finally after 6 months, Todd had enough designs to start his new business idea. A novelty company based on his doodles. So Todd borrowed some money from his parents and started david & goliath. Where did he get the name david & goliath you ask? Well, it’s too long to tell you. That was January of 2000. Today, Todd is officially a professional doodler and david & goliath has over 10,000 designs and manufactures hundreds of different products. From pajamas to tee shirts from greeting cards to stationery from toys to games from socks to underwear from bags to accessories, if it’s funny and stupid, they’ll make it. David & goliath ships these products all over the world and even has their own freestanding “Stupid Factory” stores.
Within Todd’s world live many many characters, each with their own unique looks and personalities. Trendy Wendy, Dumb Blonde, Goodbye Kitty, Bloody Mary, Bonita Styles and Bear in Underwear are just a few. To date, there are probably about 100 characters that live in Todd’s “Stupid Factory”, and it’s still growing. You can visit his website to see them all or to shop for some of his stupid products at www.davidandgoliathtees.com.
Nowadays besides david & goliath, Todd’s doodles have made there way onto many other things. In fact he has taken on the art and publishing world by storm. He is now doing children’s books, posters, lithographs and original paintings. His first book “Boys are stupid throw rocks at them” was a huge success, despite all the controversy. Controversy that got him write-ups in Time, The Wall Street Journal, and People Magazine to name a few. Todd was even named #97 in the book “100 People Screwing Up America”. He hopes to be ranked higher next year. Todd has several more books due out this year. His paintings and lithographs are shown in hundreds of galleries around the world and he has quite a celebrity collection fan base. Art Business News calls him the next big pop art sensation! For more info on his art, visit www.s2art.com
Todd is now working on an animated cartoon series for FOX called “The Uglies” … the ugliest family in the world. Production starts this Fall and will be on T.V. some time next year, so look out for it! He is also launching a contemporary denim line for Spring 07, the concept is brand new so the name is top secret so please check back later for more info. Also, sometimes in his spare time when he’s bored, Todd writes a column in Seventeen magazine called ‘Stupid Stuff by Todd”. I guess sometimes it’s smart being stupid! Todd has one simple philosophy. Make people laugh! Whether they’re laughing at him or with him, he doesn’t care, just as long as they’re laughing.
Todd is single and lives in Florida and California with his three dogs, Harris, Bailey and Jules. Day to day Todd continues to write new books, develop cartoon characters, paint and come up more stupid products for david & goliath. If you want to write Todd with suggestions or ideas, or just to call him a jerk, his email is [email protected].
Have a stupid day!
