A Mini Solo Show of Art Hand Painted onto Mortuary Toe Tags. With Subjects from Murderers, Crystal Beach and other Local Memories , Mysticism, Occult, and So Much More!

Todd Sullivan has been creating a collection of his weird, unique, and disturbing artwork on toe tags. Yes, toe tags from the morgue. Exploring that thin veil between the living and the dead, Todd confronts the viewer with “canvases” that are viewed as macabre, and creates discomfort.

Todd Sullivan is the visionary artist behind Think Suicide Studios, where his compelling creations challenge perceptions and evoke raw emotion. Known for his provocative style, Todd’s work explores humanity’s darker facets—examining themes of enterprise, violence, indulgence, and the macabre. Through this lens, he invites viewers to confront uncomfortable truths, all while finding beauty in the unsettling.

A graduate of SUNY at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration, Todd refined his craft at the Society of Illustrators in New York City, collaborating with influential artists such as Melinda Beck, Jonathan Rosen, and Jordin Isip. His artwork has been featured in galleries across the United States, including Detroit’s prestigious Dirty Show, Seattle Erotic Art Festival, Other Worldly Arts Collective, and Music Is Art. Todd also partners with musicians to design album covers, branding, and art direction.

Todd’s artistic inspiration is deeply personal, influenced by his struggles and passions. Music, particularly punk rock and heavy metal, plays a central role, alongside his love for horror films and skateboarding. His childhood spent immersed in the local Exchange Club Circus—a tradition started by his grandfather, an Associated Press photographer and hobo clown—shaped his imaginative spirit. From assisting as a plate spinner to observing the creative energy behind the scenes, Todd credits these formative experiences with igniting his artistic drive.

Working from his home studio in Western New York, Todd balances his creative pursuits with outdoor adventures. He enjoys hiking with his wife, Toni, their dog, Kenai. A seasoned traveler, Todd draws from his cross-country experiences to fuel the unique and evocative world of Think Suicide Studios, where each piece tells a story designed to disturb, captivate, and inspire.
