Marc Tetro was born in rural Ste. Anne, Manitoba, Canada, and studied art at LaSalle College in Montreal, Quebec where he began his career designing T-shirts. Since then, he has received commissions from The World Wildlife Fund, Yellowstone National Park, and the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research, among others. He has created products for NBC, Disney, Scholastic, Macy's, and the Guggenheim Museum. Recognising Tetro's unique talent, The Walt Disney Company selected to represent him as his licensing agent, making him the first living artist to get such an offer. He has authored children's books which include New Boots for Hudson and A Barbecue for Charlotte. Tetro's signature style is characterised by strong black outlines filled with bold colours. He has the ability to create the impression of three dimensions on a flat surface. His popular humanesque dogs are endearing and convey a sense of humour. These canine images appear on a wide variety of products from cosmetic bags and aprons to cell phone cases and wrapping paper. He lives in NYC. See less
