Todd Schorr calls his painting style “cartoon realism.” He draws on the images of popular culture and is influenced by artists from Vermeer and Picasso to Robert Williams and Tex Avery. He began a successful professional career as a commercial illustrator, but soon left illustration behind to express his visions on large-scale canvasses. Todd's art was collected in 1998 for Secret Mystic Rites, and a second book of his acclaimed paintings titled Dreamland will be published by Last Gasp in 2003.

Schorr's “H.P. Lovecraft’s Seafood Cart” was reproduced on the cover of Graphic Classics: H.P. Lovecraft.. Todd says he first became aware of HPL in high school and became “totally consumed in his writings.” “When read now,” he continues, “Lovecraft’s work still retains the same spine-shivering thrills I first experienced.” Another large painting, "Spectre of Monster Appeal", is reproduced in Graphic Classics: Bram Stoker.
