Teddy M has painted Fender Stratocaster guitars for Ed Sheeran and was recently flown to Milan to deliver commissions to Fiat heir and largest shareholder in Ferrari, Lapo Elkann.

Ed Sheeran commissioned a guitar known as the “Crash x Teddy M” Stratocaster, a collaboration with New York graffiti icon John CRASH Matos. Teddy M closed the year with a solo show in the Chelsea district of New York City.

Teddy M’s client base is a diverse mix of new and established art collectors, investors and international celebrities, many of whom have discovered his work on Instagram and in GQ magazine rather than in art galleries. Teddy M’s work hangs proudly in a private collection beside original works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat and can be seen publicly in the largest official Ferrari showroom in Europe.

While creative from childhood, Teddy M graduated with a BSc unrelated to art or design and intially pursued a professional career in Mayfair, London.  5 years later, hungry to explore his creativity he designed a fragrance brand selected by Coldplay for their dressing rooms on the X&Y world tour. The brand was an official supplier to the BRIT Awards and retailed in Selfridges, London and Oasis stores nationwide in the UK.

 

A few years later, an unexpected event led Teddy M to put brush to canvas for the first time since childhood and six months later, in 2012, an art dealer in Belgravia, London offered his work for sale.

 

In 2013, the British national press reported Monaco royalty’s attempt to ban Teddy M’s digital media artwork of Charlotte Casiraghi and described him as a “Rising British Artist”.  He also held his first solo show, “Auto Italia” at the largest official Ferrari showroom in Europe.

 

After a visit to New York, the Dorian Gray Gallery in the city’s East Village offered Teddy M’s hand-embellished prints and in 2014 his work was represented in West Hollywood, LA and Palm Springs by Gallerie Sparta.

2015 saw global music icon Ed Sheeran choose a ‘Teddy M’ Fender Stratocaster for his X world tour.  The guitar known as “Green T” was played in 18 countries on the hit “Thinking Out Loud”. Bonhams later sold the painted guitar for more than twice the estimate, achieving a sale price of £12,500.

In February 2016, Teddy M was flown to Milan by Fiat heir and renowned art collector Lapo Elkann to personally deliver two commissions and he is currently working on a high profile project to be revealed in May 2016.
