Founded in 2000 and incorporated a year later, Dead Zebra, Inc is responsible for the production of artwork and goods designed by Andrew Bell. This includes his popular "the Creatures in my Head" collection of monsters. Toy production is handled by the Dyzplastic division, fine art printing and publications fall directly under the Dead Zebra brand.

While the company primarily focuses on its own projects, it is open to collaborations with artists, studios and agencies that we enjoy! Have a project you wish to discuss? Feel free to drop us a line.

Life & WORK

Andrew was born in England in 1978. His family moved several times until settling into the eastern US in the mid 1980's. He has lived and worked in New York since 1996.

Andrew's work spans a wide spectrum of mediums from illustrations and paintings to toys and sculptures. Much of his work is brought together by a sense of humor that often belies a more serious and sombre message.

His work has been featured in solo and group gallery shows from LA to Paris and has been covered by publications such as The New York Times and Wired.
