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.

It's Inktober!

So, as I'm just getting up on the phenomenon of Inktober, I'm going to try to catch up and execute as many ink drawings as I can for the rest of the month. I have a ton of homework, a few canvas and skateboards to paint, and I have to work on building my brand but in my downtime I'm going to do as many ink drawings as I can. I'll definitely be on the ball next year, though...now that I know what's happening. Here are a few of my most recent black and white ink drawings just to get things started.

Stay tuned!
