"Hello, I'm Thaddeus (or Thad for short). I'm a 16-year-old artist and dinosaur enthusiast. I've been drawing since I was 7, and I love bringing prehistoric creatures to life with my colorful art. As an autistic individual, I find peace and calm in my art. My unique style blends animals and colors in a way that tells a story. Autism may be part of my story, but it doesn’t define me. You can call me “Thaddino”.

When words are not enough.

EXCLUSIVE PARTNERS & COLLABORATORS

  • Paper Rex

    About the Collaboration
    This special edition trucker hat features a unique design by 'Thaddino' with purple mesh panels and a purple bill.

    In late 2022, we were contacted by Extra Ordinary People, a charitable, not-for-profit organization that supports children and youths with special needs. They introduced us to Thaddeus Chew, a gifted young man with a knack for drawing dinosaurs.

    The moment we saw his artwork, we immediately knew it was something special. There was a certain confidence and consistency in his pen strokes, yet the caricatures of the dinosaurs also evoked a sense of fun and lightheartedness.

    On behalf of Extra Ordinary People, Paper Rex, and Thaddeus, we hope you will support this collaboration, and enjoy these as much as we enjoyed working on them.
  • Ans-ein

    About the Collaboration
    Ans-ein is a fashion brand offering products based on art. Ans-ein was founded in Singapore in early February 2017 by two mumpreneurs, Anseina (Ans) and Erlyn (Ein), who have different backgrounds but complement each other: Ans is an architect and wedding dress designer, while Ein has been in retail business, event and media. Both of us love art and have a desire to appreciate art in many forms; thus inspiring us to establish Ans-ein: a wearable art.
