From the kit to the drawing board
Clifford Hoad, known as TOAD, has been drawing since he was a kid, and art has always been his other great passion. Now he pours all of that passion straight onto T-shirts and clothing through SO LOCAL, his very own surf, skate and streetwear label, run with his family. Every design is a TOAD original, hand-drawn by Clifford himself. Catch him and his son Zen at the SO LOCAL stall at the Gold Coast markets.
