About the artist:
Todd Goldman's artistic journey began in high school, but he initially pursued a career in accounting, earning a degree from the University of Florida and working as a CPA for six years. Eventually, his frustration with the conventional path led him back to his artistic roots. He began doodling, using humor and satire to comment on the world around him through his art.
In 2000, Goldman founded "david & goliath," a t-shirt company based on his doodles. The company produces a wide range of products featuring thousands of unique designs, often centered around humor and wit. Goldman's distinct style, characterized by humorous and satirical content, caught the attention of a broad audience.
Aside from his work with "david & goliath," Todd Goldman continued to create his own art and doodles. He compiled his artwork into books, including "Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks at Them," released in 2005, and other titles like "Girls are Weirdos But They Smell Pretty," as well as children's books such as "Animal Soup" and "The Zoo I Drew."
In addition to his books and clothing line, Goldman expanded into television with projects like "The Uglies" in collaboration with FOX and an animated series called "BLAHgirls.com" with Ashton Kutcher. Witnessing the success of his pieces in galleries worldwide, Goldman opened his own gallery, Pop-Factory, in 2008. His artwork has been exhibited and collected globally, with notable collectors including Jessica Simpson, Rihanna, John Goodman, and Sir Paul McCartney. Goldman continues to participate in numerous art shows and exhibitions each year, showcasing his work from Los Angeles to London to Japan.
