Shark Toof is a pseudonymous American 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 California underground graffiti scene and is displayed publicly in urban neighborhoods in several countries[which?] and privately in gallery exhibitions[which?].[1] He 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 Inc..[4]
Shark Toof is a graduate of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California.[5]
