Artist of the Day: Todd James, Creator of Miley Cyrus’ Twerkin’ Bears

(Editor’s Note: Even though everyone is talking about Todd James this week, we wish to point out that this post was prepared long before the debut of his twerkin’ bears for Miley Cyrus.)

Todd “REAS” James cut his creative teeth as a youth by writing graffiti in New York City before eventually expanding his output into art galleries, printed matter and television.

Todd’s drawings are produced with confident, swift lines and are boldly colorful.

Here are some recent fantasy themed drawings that Todd posted on the blog section of his website where he also features his gallery work.

Todd’s work in television includes designing the puppets for Comedy Central’s Crank Yankers.

Earlier this century, Todd and Stephen “ESPO” Powers created Zoo Force, a Web Premiere Toon for Cartoon Network with Funny Garbage handling production.
