Welcome to my little slice of the interweb

My name is Toby, I'm a proud father of an awesome 6 year old daughter that likes swimming class, dancing class and My Little Pony cartoons. I'm also an artist and a web producer—I live and work in San Francisco.

Current projects: I got into running last year. In March I completed the LA Marathon and now I'm currently prepping for the San Francisco Marathon this summer.

Runners mix tape

►Runners Mix Tapes

When I began running, I would create ipod playlists of motivational songs to keep me moving forward. As the months went on, these playlist became more complicated continuous mixes I put together using DJ software. Now part of my process, I make a new mix for each event I run. My standard formula is early 90's progressive house, electronic, hip hop and, nerdcore.

Listen and download.

► Evil Puppethead Products:

In the 90's, during the peak of the rave / house music scene, I created and sold a private label clothing line. Evil Puppethead Products was the perfect blend of high fashion, nihilism and whimsy. Back by popular demand, I've retooled and rebooted the old t-shirt designs and served them up on Cafepress.

Buy Evil Puppethead Products.

Breast Cancer Art Project Toby Hilden

►The Bust Project

The video on Youtube about my personal breast cancer art theraphy project, has received over 1 million hits. Wow! Maybe, not so much a credit to my art work but more to the fact that "Breasts" are in the title. I still get positive comments on it and I'm glad it resonated with people.
