Todd is the Los Angeles-based artist behind Grand Opening. His work explores and draws inspiration from meditative and expanded states of consciousness. His detailed drawings, paintings, and prints reflect these states and serve as a vehicle for himself and the viewer to drop into them.
As Creative Director in the branding and advertising space, he dedicates time and energy to world-bettering brands and non-profits—specifically, organizations working to halt biodiversity loss and protect the Amazon.
When not in his studio, he enjoys playing music and exploring nature with his young daughter and wife.
