Shark Toof is a pseudonymous graffiti artist, stencillist, muralist, painter and activist, known especially for his use of wheat pasted images of a hand drawn, gape-mouthed Great White shark. His work grew out of the underground graffiti scene and is displayed privately at various gallery exhibitions and publicly in urban neighborhoods around the world.[1] Shark Toof lives and works in Los Angeles.[2]
Shark Toof creates gritty juxtapositions between animals, most notably sharks, in anachronistic situations. His imagery is rich and multilayered, combining comic and advertising iconography with street art sensibilities.[3] His murals have been used in commercials for Samsung and Apple.[4]
Shark Toof is a graduate from ArtCenter College of Design.[5]
