Born in L.A. in 1978, Tristan Eaton started pursuing street art as a teenager, painting everything from billboards to dumpsters in the urban landscapes of the cities where he lived, be it London, Detroit, or New York. He made his first toy for Fisher-Price at 18 years old and was soon dubbed a driving force in the world of designer toys.
Eaton’s work for Kidrobot, including the famous Dunny and Munny action figures, helped him achieve international renown and an ever-growing fan base. Today, as a leader in the advertising and commercial-art spheres, he is regularly commisioned as a creative director and consultant for a roster of clients that includes Nike, Hasbro, and even Barack Obama. The artist’s projects span both various platforms and the globe.
His pieces are on view at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and part of the Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) permanent collection.
