Artist
Tony is a Sheffield born self-taught artist whose only interest as a child was in making marks and squiggles
on paper, his parents made sure there were always lots of crayons, paints and paper to doodle on and after
attempting to do a still life of an orange aged 6, he admitted the result resembled a wardrobe, a year
later he did a painting of a cat which ended up looking like a chair, progress was slow. He had a fleeting
acquaintance with education, but did excel in it’s lower elements, and sold his first cartoon aged 9 to a
saturday morning tv show, receiving a token for a Milky Way chocolate bar, from then on it’s all been downhill.
Since the 1980’s he established himself as a unique cartoonist and graphic artist influenced by the
great satirical draughtsmen of the C18th and C19th and he first came to International notice in 1988
when the British Government presented his works as part of their official gift to the Australian
Government during the Bicentennial Celebrations. His highly original approach to this subject
matter has made his work much sought after and is held in private and public collections
with his work selling throughout the world and available on hundreds of
fine products from Royal Mail first day covers to dog blankets.  
Set artist and designer for the movie 'Treasure Island', with Jack Palance and Patrick Bergen,
those sharp eyed will see Tony as a Pirate and Merchant Adventurer as well as being
Art Director and Designer on the documentary 'Sea Warriors - The Royal Navy in the Age of Sail' and many
collaborations with award winning Author and Historian Captain Richard Woodman LVO  MNH FNI Elder Brother. Trinity House.
Having lived in or near the Peak District countryside he has at various times kept a variety of
critters including Peacocks, Golden Pheasants, Crows, Geese, Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Rats, odd orphan Barn Cats and odd Dogs.

‘..i never learnt the basics of how to draw properly, the cartoon stuff is a lowly art form and i love doing
them and have tried to push it's boundaries as i do enjoy drawing pictures...and sometimes i colour them in...’
