Taul “Toy Crusher” Waters is a Jacksonville, Florida–based artist whose practice evolved the way street knowledge usually does: illegally, obsessively, and with a sense of humor sharp enough to draw blood. He cut his teeth in graffiti and illustration, learning early how to communicate fast, loud, and without permission. That foundation expanded into graphic design, painting, digital illustration, and blogging—each medium treated as another surface to disrupt, remix, or interrogate. His work balances discipline with defiance, blending professional execution with the residue of alley walls, sketchbooks, and long nights spent refining ideas that refused to behave. Taul draws inspiration from hip hop culture, drum and bass rhythms, science fiction, horror, skateboard graphics, and the kind of absurd life experiences you only understand after surviving them. More recently, his exploration of synthography has pushed his visual language into stranger territory, where machines collaborate in the chaos rather than clean it up. Darkly comical and deliberately confrontational, his work invites viewers to laugh first, think second, and then realize they’ve been implicated the entire time.

From The New Yorker:

ABSTRACT: ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE ARTS about the rapper MF Doom. The writer first heard the rapper Daniel Dumile when he was fourteen and hip-hop was just beginning to bloom. Performing under the name Zevlove X, Dumile made his debut in 1989 with a verse on a song called “The Gas Face.” Two years later, as a member of the group KMD, Dumile released the album “Mr. Hood.” Dumile’s style is vibrant and freewheeling; he skates over the beat, sliding words into the empty spaces between the snare and the kick drums. In 1993, Dumile’s brother Dingilizwe, also a member of KMD and known as Subroc, was hit by a car and killed. Dumile vanished from the national scene and began living as a civilian in New York City. He had a child. Then, in 1999, Dumile released a solo record, “Operation: Doomsday,” under the moniker Metal Face Doom.
