Matt Furie Tea Pot

White porcelain 'Dog' motif tea pot by Jaguarshoes Collective, a collaboration with Matt Furie. It has an black illustration on the side, and a small lid.

Matt Furie lives in San Francisco where he collects toys and draws nasty, funny creatures. His drawings come from a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations. His self proclaimed children’s book illustrations for adults combines traditional and modern mark-making for his ripe, cartoon-inspired characters.

Since leaving his native Ohio six years ago, Furie’s work has been steadily gaining more and more recognition. Having now shown at a number of global pioneering contemporary art spaces such as Low Gallery, New Image Art Gallery, Space 1026, Philadelphia, Cinders Gallery and Monster Children gallery, Furie will finally be bringing his talents to the UK.
