Meet The Artists

TADO

Mike and Katie make up the design duo, better known to the world as TADO. Based in Sheffield, UK, this pint-sized creative powerhouse has produced an endless list of darkly adorable characters, artwork and projects that have terrorized and delighted individuals and clients world wide for over a decade. Started in 2002 when the pair began to work together at university, TADO quickly became an established name through their unique style, humour, illustrations, animations, and toy designs. Everything they do is produced in total collaboration – whether it be taking turns in drawing, painting, drilling, glueing, scribbling or clicking.

Mik first got involved with Wild in Art in 2008, on one of the early trails called GoGo Elephants, in Norwich. He was involved with 7 of the sculptures, and from that moment, he was bitten by the Wild in Art bug.
