The Art of Todd Bratrud
"What makes Todd so brilliant is his inability to create anything ugly. Â He tries, lord knows, he tries. Â He instinctively finds the beauty in anything he draws whether it be broken and beaten women, severed limbs, dead animals, conjoined twins, or dead baby fetuses. Â It's a rare gift to make people think a four-titted cow/chicken is adorable."

The release of these two Seen Unknown titles marks the beginning of a new MBP series, edited by Winston Tseng, art director for Enjoi Skateboards. Tseng has worked with some of today's most genre-defying visual artists and designers whose work extends well beyond skateboard culture. From sneaker and apparel design to product packaging, posters, high-profile ad campaigns and fine art galleries, the work of these artists is often recognizable, though their creators' names remain unknown--until now. With Seen Unknown, Tseng unifies the diverse range of work by some of his favorite artists, putting it all in once place for readers to enjoy. Â Â Â
