Tristan Eaton

At age 18, LA-born artist Tristan Eaton designed his first toy for Fisher-Price, and quickly became a driving force in the world of Art Toys. Upon graduating from the School of Visual Arts in New York, Eaton co-founded the legendary KidRobot. Proving his versatility and solidifying a place for himself across mediums and genres, he founded Thunderdog Studios, where he amassed a roster of high profile clients including Nike and Universal. In the years since, Eaton has become one of the most prominent international muralists, earning the coveted job of rendering the classic Universal Monsters at Universal Studios and an elusive licensing deal with Marvel. Eaton’s work can be seen in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) permanent collection, the Cooper Hewitt Museum, and, up until very recently, the Long Beach Museum of Art, which hosted a career retrospective spanning decades of Eaton’s work.
