If you are a fan of Kid Robot you will recognize these pieces. Tado have collaborated with Kid Robot many times. Tado is a team duo from UK who who does cute and colourful drawings.

At first you might think Toki Doki because of the same cute and colourful fun-ness to it, the aesthetic styles are different. Tadu does more compositions, they create grand cities where you can enter and be part of it. It’s more a context of the characters in the whole city. There an extreme amount of detail in their art.

Tado extends to many different area of merchandising including clothing, bags, shoes (for Nike and others), and many more. Check out their online shop.

One of their unexpected work is a series called Private Panda Club where they add Tado elements to girls in lingerie. I like the creativity, it’s bringing their art to another medium, and I like it because there are girls in lingerie.

They even extended into commercial with collabo with MTV.
