About Frogman Art
The Story behind Frogman Art! Tim “Frogman” Cotterill’s bronze sculptures capture the whimsical character, the jewel-like quality, and the pure joy of beautiful little creatures. Cotterill, also known as Frogman, was born in England in 1950. Intrigued with metalworking, he left school at the age of fifteen to complete a six year engineering apprenticeship. During this apprenticeship in the 70’s and 80’s, he created radical wheeled vehicles and metal sculptures of animals and birds.
Tim “Frogman” Cotterill’s original steel, bronze and gold sculptures of birds, frogs and fish are in art collections throughout the world. In 1990, Tim Cotterill immigrated to California and devoted himself solely to the creation of his unique bronze frog sculptures.
Cotterill speaks of his work as Frogman saying, “Through the centuries and throughout the world, frogs have symbolized many things – Good Luck, Royalty, Fertility, and Energy. In today’s fast world, life sometimes becomes complicated and stressful. My art is not. It’s elegant, stylish, whimsical, and pure fun. As children we were excited to see our first frogs. They made us laugh when they jumped our way! We were curious about the strange way they felt; the odd way they moved and their simple contented look. I used to watch frogs at my pond in England, noting how each one had its own color markings, character and even personality.”
Frogman art sculptures love friends! Build your collection of frogs to match any area and enjoy them for generations.

Questions Answered
EV stands for edition varied, pertaining to Frogman’s work this means it is a special edition version we had made for a show. These come in much smaller edition sizes and are usually a different patina from the original variation. They allow for the whimsical nature of Frogman sculptures to come through, in various styles.
Patina is the color the bronze of the Frogman sculpture becomes when it is chemically manipulated to a specific color. Our four largest frogman sculptures can be custom ordered to the patina of your choosing.
The sealant over the bronze Frogman sculpture is not safe for the outdoors, however we do have a few frogman sculptures that are designed without the sealant, and therefore safe.
