TAD | Canadian Animation, Cartooning and Illustration

TAD

“Tad”, a logo for Taddle Creek magazine came into existence through a collaboration between Editor Ian Tobias and Illustrator Ian Phillips. He made his first appearance on the title page of Taddle Creek Christmas 2002. His cover appearance on issue 19, Christmas 2007, marked a fundamental change in magazine policy. From this point all Taddle Creek covers feature the work of cartoonists and illustrators rather than photographs. Tad’s function expanded and he now appears on the “Ephemera” and other section heads, and for advertising. He was drawn by Ian till issue 28, Summer 2012 after which Hartley Lin took over. “Tad” has appeared on covers drawn by Ian Phillips and Hartley Lin. Recently Nathan Campagnaro made a model of him for the cover of Taddle Creek, 45, Summer 2020.
