Todd Berman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Todd Berman (born 1976 in West Virginia) is a Long Island raised artist/activist currently living and working in San Francisco, California. He founded TheArtDontStop.org in 2003.
Todd is well known for bringing art "back into the community," focusing mainly on the Mission and Tenderloin Districts of San Francisco. Todd attends neighborhood events and gives the assembled crowd an opportunity to become a part of a running, artisitic history of the city. He provides markers and paper and encourages all to contribute drawings that typically relate to the theme of the gathering. The drawings then become part of a final paint-on-canvas piece that Todd himself later produces.
Todd is extremely eco-conscious, and was named 2005 Bike Commuter of the Year for the city of San Francisco (San Francisco County). For the better part of that year, Todd rode his usual three miles to and from work donning a helmet that he fashioned into a shark fin.
